Conversion tables
The values in these conversion tables are only approximate and have been rounded up or down for clarity. Always stick to either metric or imperial measurements in the same recipe.
Oven Temperatures
Oven temperatures can be in degrees Celsius (International) -- previously Centigrade, degrees Fahrenheit (in the USA) or by gas mark (UK). This table provides a rough guide to conversion between the ranges.
For fan assisted ovens use a setting of 25° Celsius (77° Fahrenheit) less than the recipe calls for. Cooking times can probably be reduced by 10 minutes for every hour of cooking time.
| Centigrade | Farenheit | Gas Mark | Verbal |
| 110° | 225° | ¼ | Very slow/Very low |
| 125° | 250° | ½ | Very slow/Very low |
| 140° | 275° | 1 | Slow/Low |
| 150° | 300° | 2 | Slow/Low |
| 165° | 325° | 3 | Moderately slow/Warm |
| 180° | 350° | 4 | Moderate/Medium |
| 190° | 375° | 5 | Moderate/Moderately hot |
| 200° | 400° | 6 | Moderately hot |
| 220° | 425° | 7 | Hot |
| 230° | 450° | 8 | Hot/Very hot |
| 240° | 475° | 9 | Very hot |
| 260° | 500° | 10 | Extremely hot |

Volume
Cup measures All of the cup measure references that I have been able to find show a cup as half a pint, which I think, for the purpose of cookery, is excessive. I would be inclined to judge a cup measure as a small English tea cup, or about half a large coffee mug. Discuss!
