Oven temperature chart
Paste a recipe, one ingredient per line, and resize it by servings or by a factor. Going from 4 to 6 servings multiplies everything by 1.5, so 2/3 cup becomes 1 cup and 250 g becomes 375 g. Temperatures, times and pan sizes are left alone, and baking times may still need checking for a bigger pan.
How to use
- Pick an ingredient, type an amount and choose its unit. Grams (or cups) appear at once, with every other unit below.
- Use the swap button to turn the answer into the input. Fractions like 1/2, 1 1/3 or ½ are fine.
- Recipe scaler: paste a recipe (one ingredient per line), then set the servings or a factor. Every line with a quantity is rescaled; tap a line to copy it or copy the whole recipe.
- Oven: type a temperature in °C, °F or gas mark to get the others, the fan-oven setting and the full chart.
- Weights are averages for spooned and leveled cups (King Arthur and USDA values). Packed or sifted flour can differ by 10–15%. For baking, a kitchen scale is the most accurate.
- 1 US cup = 236.6 ml, a metric cup = 250 ml and a Japanese cup = 200 ml. Tablespoons are 15 ml and teaspoons 5 ml (US spoons are 14.8 and 4.9 ml).
- The scaler changes the first quantity on each line and leaves temperatures, times and pan sizes alone. Cups and spoons become easy fractions; grams and ml are rounded.
- Fan (convection) ovens usually need 20 °C / 25 °F less than conventional ovens.
Why cups to grams depends on the ingredient
A cup measures volume, a scale measures weight, and every ingredient has its own density. One US cup (236.6 ml) holds about 120 g of flour but 200 g of sugar and 336 g of honey. The values here are averages for spooned and leveled cups, based on King Arthur Baking and USDA data. Packed or sifted flour can differ by 10–15%, so for baking a kitchen scale is the most accurate tool.
Cup sizes differ too: a US cup is 236.6 ml, a metric cup 250 ml and a Japanese cup 200 ml. A tablespoon is 15 ml and a teaspoon 5 ml (US spoons are 14.8 and 4.9 ml).
Scaling recipes and oven settings
The recipe scaler changes the first quantity on each line and leaves temperatures, times and pan sizes alone; cups and spoons become easy fractions, and grams and milliliters are rounded. Fan (convection) ovens usually need about 20 °C or 25 °F less than conventional ovens.
