OVEN TEMPERATURES

To convert ℉ to ℃, subtract 32, multiply 5, divide by 9 or ℉ subtract 32 and divide by 1.8.

℃ = ℉ - 32 x 5/9 or ℃ = ℉ -32 / 1.8

2 GSC-CID-LRMS-ESSLM, v.r. 03.00, Effective June 14, 2021

Example: Convert 300℉ to ℃
300℉-32 = 268 1340 /9 = 148.8 ℃/ 149℃
268 * 5 = 1340
To convert ℃ to ℉, multiply by 9, divide by 5 and add 32 or ℃ multiply 1.8 and add 32.
℉ = ℃ x 9/5 + 32 or ℃ x 1.8 + 32
Example: Convert 160℃ to ℉
160℃ x 9 = 1440 288 + 32 = 320℉
1440/5 = 288
PROPER MEASURING OF INGREDIENTS
The following are the techniques that should always be observed.
Sifted flour. Sift flour 2 or 3 times. Spoon into the cup overflowing, level off with a spatula.
Rice and flour. Scoop flour till it is overflowing, level-off with a spatula or with a straight-
edged knife
Refined sugar. If sugar has lumps, sift it before measuring. Spoon into a cup and level off
with a spatula. Do not pack or tap the sugar down.
Brown sugar. Pack into the cup just enough to hold its shape when turned out off the cup.
Level off with a spatula before emptying.
Liquid ingredients. Liquid measuring cup - a glass or plastic cup with graduated markings on
the side. Place the cup on a flat, level surface. Hold the cup firmly and pour the desired amount
of liquid into the cup. Then, lean over and view the liquid at eye level to ensure it is the proper
amount.
