With the advent of the internet finding recipes has become easier, however you often find the right recipe only to find that the units are 'foreign'. Sometimes you will find the weights in grams or measurements in cups where the standard is different in the Canada to the US. Our site is designed to help you make sense of these measurements and to translate them to those you are comfortable with.

Weight Conversions

This section covers conversions of Imperial weights to Metric weights and vice versa, including pounds to kilograms and ounces to grams.

Liquid Conversions

Again imperial to metric conversions such as fluid ounces to millilitres and pints to litres are covered. This section is complicated by the fact that an American pints and fluid ounces are not the same as British pints and fluid ounces and the conversion between the US pints and Imperial pints and US fluid ounces to Imperial fluid ounces are included.

Oven Temperature Conversions

Standard temperatures for Gas Marks 1-9 are included together with oven temperature conversions between the Celcius (Centigrade) and Fahrenheit temperature scales.

Length Conversions

Length conversions are less important in cooking but some recipes will specify a 10" baking tin or a 25cm cake tin and so we have included these conversions on the site. Included here are conversions for inches to centimetres and inches to millimetres
