Instructions

1. Multiply milliliters by 0.0338140227 to convert them into liquid ounces. For example, if the amount is 2 liters, multiply by 1,000 to get 2,000 ml. Then multiply 2,000 by 0.0338140227 to get 67.63 liquid oz.

2. Divide the liquid amount in milliliters by 240 to obtain the approximate amount in cups. Divide the liquid amount in milliliters by 475 to convert to pints. Divide the liquid amount by 950 to convert it into quarts. For smaller amounts, the teaspoon and tablespoon are 5 and 15 ml respectively.

3. Multiply the number of grams of dry ingredients by 0.0352739619 to convert to ounces. For example, if the amount is 2 kg, or 2,000 g, multiply 2,000 by 0.0352739619 to get a result of 70.55 oz. Divide ounces by 16 to obtain pounds. For the example, 70.55 oz. divided by 16 equals 4.41 lbs. Converting dry ingredients from metric weights to pounds and ounces and using a kitchen scale is an alternative to finding a chart that translates each ingredient's weight into the cups used by U.S. cooks to measure dry ingredients. Cups measure volume, not weight.

4. Multiply the length or width of a baking pan in centimeters by 0.393700787 to get the equivalent in inches. For example, if a recipe calls for a 25 cm baking pan, then multiplying that number by 0.393700787 results in 9.84 inches, which is approximately 10 inches. Multiply millimeters by 0.0393700787 to get inches.

5. Multiply a temperature in Celsius by 1.8 and add 32 to convert the temperature to Fahrenheit. For example, if the recipe calls for 150 degrees Celsius, then multiply 150 by 1.8 to get 270, and add 32 to get a result of 302 degrees Fahrenheit.
