OVEN TEMPERATURES

(We use degrees Celsius)

°C	°F	Fan °C¹	Gas	Description
110	225	90	¼	Very cool
120	250	100	½	Very cool
140	275	120	1	Cool
150	300	130	2	Cool
160	325	140	3	Warm
180	350	160	4	Moderate
190	375	170	5	Moderately hot
200	400	180	6	Fairly hot
220	425	200	7	Hot
230	450	210	8	Very hot
240	475	220	9	Very hot

¹ You should set a fan-assisted oven to 20°C lower than that stipulated by the recipe, unless the recipe specifically mentions temperature settings on fan-assisted ovens. So, if a recipe says to bake something at, say 200°C, you should set it to 180°C if you are using a fan-assisted oven and in principle cook it for the same amount of time. This is only a guideline.

A CUP OF FLOUR…

Most of our recipes are measured in grams and millilitres but you may find it easier to use our easy cup converter below. Also, for those using the metric system, you will find this conversion chart useful when working with our U.S. or Australian tutors.

A U.S./Australian¹ cup of…	is this same as, in metric (g)	… and in imperial (oz)
All-purpose flour	128g	4½ oz
Bread flour	127g	4½ oz
Brown sugar	200g	7 oz
Butter	226g	8oz
Cocoa Powder	118g	4 oz
Granulated (white) sugar	210g	7½ oz
Ground Almonds	75g	2½ oz
Icing / confectioners sugar	125g	4 oz
Margarine	217g	7½ oz
Raisins/sultanas	200g	7 oz
Sifted all-purpose flour	120g	4 oz
Superfine / caster sugar	190	6½ oz

¹ One Australian cup is equivalent to 1.06 U.S. cups. The Imperial/UK cup is 1.2 times a US cup and is no longer used.

¹ Teaspoons (tsp) worldwide are always 5 ml. ² A U.S. tablespoon (tbsp) is 15 ml, an English/Imperial tablespoon is 18 ml and an Australian tablespoon is 20 ml. ³ A UK fluid ounce is the same as an Australian fluid ounce (about 28.5 ml) whereas one U.S. fluid ounce is 29.5 ml. ⁴ One Australian cup is equivalent to 1.06 U.S. cups. The Imperial/UK cup is 1.20095 times bigger than the US cup and is no longer used. ⁵ Pints vary from country to country. ⁶There are 1,000 mililitres in a litre.
