Cooking conversion tables

In this handy section, you'll find oven temperatures, weights for dry ingredients, liquid measures and tablespoon conversions for the UK, US and Australia – all in one tidy place.

As a general rule, Europeans and Australians follow the metric measurement system and Americans follow the imperial system. The conversions listed here are approximate for imperial.

Hi I copy and pasted to a word document. I used a two column table, oven and liquid in one column and dry weights in the other using tahoma font size 10. It fitted on one page then laminated for fridge door, handy as anything

Unfortunately, it's not possible to fit this article on to one sheet as there's too much information. You could try copying and pasting it into a word document then making the font size smaller. Regards, Debra, web editor.

What a shame these tables were not made more compact. All the info could have been put on one sheet and would have been handier in the kitchen just to slip into a plastic folder.
