Thank you Allrecipes for your conversion chart. I am visiting friends and wanted to bake a cake for them. Unfortunately their scale refused to do its job and we were stuck. Surfed the net and low and behold got our hands on the conversion from gms to cups. Now I can go ahead and put my cake in the bake. Thanks again.

This table is great, but it would be faster if the recipes were printed in grams and cups. In the States we rarely bake by weight,but rather by cups. In the meantime thanks a million.

This is a great help. I live in Europe but we're North American and most of my mom's recipes are in cups so trying to pass a recipe on to friends has been a real headache. Now I can convert before I give them the recipes!

It's also popular in Europe to have recipes in deciliters. 1 cup = 2.4 dl.

Sorry about the mistake...Found that the butter too is there in the chart!! Thank you for this and Im definitely going to print this and hang it in my kitchen!!!

Yay! Alas!!! Grazie!!! I use a scale for weighing out my flour but always wondered about the other ingredients you have listed. Weighing makes for precise measurements & allows for a consistant outcome everytime.

This is fabulous as I'm English but living in Spain, I do have a set of cups but sometimes prefer to use the gram measurements, so this really is invaluable!

MrsTurtle

Since I now live in the UK, this chart is ever so helpful. As an American, I naturally find the Imperial measure easier. Metrics mess with my head, but this chart rocks! Again, many thanks!!

Oct. 12, 2011 2:34 am

Great site, nice recipes and all that. I just got a simpel question: Who in their right mind uses cups for measuring anything, let alone something as precise as pastry and sweets ?????? I'm from Europe, and it seems almost incredibly idiotic. You are most welcome, incouraged infact, to use the metric system wich in all aspects is so much better and more intelligent than ounzes and cups etc. I used to work for a pastry chef in a restaurant in NY. She would never, not even slightly - for half a second consider using anything but grams and liters. She would never be able to make the wonderfull cakes and desserts she made with anything but metric meassurements. What's up with this hard-headed loyality with a stupid old system ? This 2011 people. But it seems americans are stuck in the beginning of the 20th century. Fahrenheit vs centigrade is another good example. What person, with 3+ active braincells would use a system so stupid, difficult and unflexible as fahrenheit ? For real people,,get with the program!!

vegetable oil, would that be the same as the syrups and honey conversion

genevieve06

Oct. 19, 2011 3:39 pm

Toke, you can't be serious. I'm fairly certain a pastry chef would be able to make equally wonderful (not wonderfull, btw) cakes and desserts whilst using cups and ounces. Give me a break.

baker_caroline

Oct. 29, 2011 11:01 am

Um, I think Toke is serious about a great pastry chef using grams instead of cups. For the same reason why Miren said the cup she measured didn't weight the same as the chart. That's because using a measuring cup is not precise due to different settling rates of the ingredients. Weighing dry ingredients is the way to have stuff come out consistently the same. BTW, you can use oz, but if you need anything less than that, we Americans all switch over to grams since nothing in our system exists smaller than an oz.

How about cheese(3/4)?(cups to gram)thanks....

Ann

Nov. 3, 2011 1:45 pm

so would 1g of salt be considered a dash of salt. Seriously I have a recipe that calls for 1g of salt and 1g os baking soda, none of the conversion charts have been helpful. So I guess a dash it is. Toke - Seriously, was all that even necessary? I don't think this forum was designed to berate they way anyone chose to measure their ingredients. Europeans do it one way and most Americans do it another!
