Oven temperature conversion chart

When you're baking in a new oven, it always takes a while to get used to it! Your sponge cake might have been perfect in 20 minutes in your gas oven, but dry and crumbly in the same time when using a fan oven. Throw in the added confusion of converting oven temperatures, and it can all feel a little overwhelming. This oven temperature conversion chart will help get you off to a good start!

Teaspoon conversion chart

When a recipe calls for a teaspoon or tablespoon, it can start to get a little confusing! Spoons vary in size, but when you use the ml equivalent you can be more accurate when baking.

Cups conversion chart

Cups to grams will differ depending on the ingredient you’re measuring, due to the weight of the ingredients not all being the same. To make sure the ratios are right, we recommend sticking to one form of measurement throughout your whole recipe - using either cups or grams - to keep it consistent. The end result might be slightly bigger or smaller, but it will still taste delicious!
