Metric Table for Cooking Following are approximate conversions. The Imperial "tablespoon" is generally interpreted as half a fluid ounce (the measure used in the following table), but sometimes as five eights of an ounce (which would be approximately 17.76 milliliters).

Oven Temperature Equivalents

* The freezing point of water in Fahrenheit is 32 degrees, in Celsius it is 0 degrees.
* The boiling point of water in Fahrenheit is 212 degrees, in Celsius it is 100 degrees.
* Consequently the difference between freezing and boiling is 180 degrees Fahrenheit (212-32) or 100 degrees Celsius (100-0). This means that 180 degrees change in Fahrenheit is equal to 100 degree change in Celsius, or more simply 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit equals 1.0 degrees Celsius.

Some common examples are:

* Freezing = 0 °C , 32°F
* Room temperature = 20 °C , 68°F
* Normal body temperature = 37 °C , 98.6°F
* A very hot day = 40 °C , 104°F
* Boiling point of water = 100 °C , 212°F
