| 3 ⁄4 teaspoon | 3.75 milliliters |
| 1 teaspoon | 5 milliliters |
| 1 tablespoon | 15 milliliters |
| 1 ⁄4 cup | 62.5 milliliters |
| 1 ⁄2 cup | 125 milliliters |
| 3 ⁄4 cup | 187.5 milliliters |

| COOKING TEMPERATURE CONVERSIONS | |
| Celsius/Centigrade | 0°C and 100°C are arbitrarily placed at the melting and boiling points of water and are standard to the metric system. |
| Fahrenheit | Fahrenheit established 0°F as the stabilized temperature when equal amounts of ice, water and salt are mixed. |
To convert temperatures in Fahrenheit to Celsius, use this formula:
C = (F-32) × 0.5555
So, for example, if you are baking at 350°F and want to know that temperature in Celsius, use this calculation:
C = (350-32) × 0.5555 = 176.65°C
