Weights & Measurements

A handy kitchen companion for weight, volume and oven temperatures. These conversions do not change the quantities in a recipe.

An Australian metric cup is 250 mL and an Australian tablespoon is 20 mL. A US cup is approximately 236.59 mL and a US tablespoon is approximately 14.79 mL. A teaspoon is 5 mL here. Ingredient weights are approximate: cup size, packing and the ingredient itself affect the result.

Check the recipe’s original measuring convention before converting. Oven conversions do not automatically adjust for fan-forced ovens.

Reference: Australian kitchen measures from Taste. Ingredient weights are working estimates, not a substitute for weighing.
