Converted

The advent of the internet is a wonderous thing. You can source recipes from around the world and are then faced with one conundrum - what does that ingredient, oven temperature or weight measurement convert to.

The most baffling I find are the older Australian Women's Weekly Recipe Books. For example - cook in a moderatley hot oven. Moderately hot according to who? Well it is actually translated in the back of the books - but why not simply say in the recipe? They have obviously responded and in the newer books they do state the actual oven temperature. For your information a moderately hot oven is 190-200 C - but then what does that covert to in a fan oven.?

It's a minefield!

So I found a fabulous link to save headaches and troubles. The BBC Good Food Covnersion chart and here's the link. http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/content/knowhow/conversion/

It will hopefully save a few minutes in the kitchen and a lot of confusion when baking.
