How to convert a metric recipe to US measurements
Short answer
Divide grams by 28.35 to get ounces and millilitres by 29.57 to get fluid ounces. For oven temperatures, multiply °C by 9/5 and add 32. Turning grams of flour into cups needs a known density, so a kitchen scale set to ounces is the most reliable option.
| Metric | US |
|---|---|
| 100 g | 3.53 oz |
| 250 g | 8.82 oz |
| 500 g | 17.64 oz |
| 1 kg | 35.27 oz |
| 100 ml | 3.38 fl oz |
| 250 ml | 8.45 fl oz |
| 500 ml | 16.91 fl oz |
| 1 l | 33.81 fl oz |
What about cups?
Going from grams to cups means guessing how dense the ingredient is. Recepti does not guess in either direction: metric volumes become fluid ounces and metric weights become ounces. If you want cups for staples, use the cups to grams chart in reverse.
