- 60ml = 2fl oz = 1/4 cup
- 85ml = 2 1/2fl oz = 1/3 cup
- 100ml = 3fl oz = 3/8 cup
- 125ml = 4fl oz = 1/2 cup
- 150ml = 5fl oz = 1/4 pint
- 250ml = 8fl oz = 1 cup
- 300ml = 10fl oz = 1/2 pint
- 360ml = 12fl oz = 1 1/2 cups
- 420ml = 14fl oz = 1 3/4 cups
- 500ml = 16fl oz = 2 cups

Oven Temperature Conversions
The celsius temperatures given here are not exact; they have been rounded off and are given as a guide only. Follow the manufacturers tempertaure guide, relating it to the oven description given in the recipe. Remember gas ovens are hottest at the top, electric ovens at the bottom, and convection-fan forced ovens are usually even throughout. To convert C to F multiply C by 9 and divide by 5 then add 32.
- Very slow = 120 C = 250 F
- Slow = 150 C = 300 F
- Moderately Slow = 160 C = 325 F
- Moderate = 180 C = 350 F
- Moderately Hot = 190 C = 375 F
- Hot = 220 C = 440 F
- Very Hot = 230 C = 450 F
Cake Dish Sizes - 15cm = 6in
- 18cm = 7in
- 20cm = 8in
- 23cm = 9in
Loaf Dish Measures - 23x12cm = 9x5in
