- To convert Fahrenheit to Celsius, subtract 32 degrees and divide by 1.8
- To convert Celsius to Fahrenheit, multiply by 1.8 and add 32 degrees
Converting Yeast
- Converting from fresh yeast to active dry yeast you multiply the weight of the fresh yeast by 0.4
- Converting from fresh yeast to instant dry yeast you multiply the weight of the fresh yeast by 0.33
- Converting from instant dry yeast to active dry yeast multiply by 1.2
Tip: Buy a kitchen scale and your baking life will be a whole lot easier! Especially with weighing small amounts of yeast and salt, a precision scale that can weigh tenths of grams is something I couldn’t do without. You know exactly what you put in and will discover that there is a difference in taste when putting e.g. 8.2 or 9 grams of salt in your bread
Precise measurements can be vital to cooking and baking success. Keep our essential guide handy for all the weights and measures you might need.
Measurement equipment
- Use Australian Standard measuring cups and spoons. The plastic ones found in supermarkets and kitchenware shops are a perfect choice. Check the metal ones and overseas brands as most are not Australian standard and therefore not suitable for Australian recipes.
- Use cup and spoon measures for dry and solid ingredients and a measuring jug for liquid ingredients.
- When measuring dry ingredients, dip the cup or spoon measure into the food and lift out. Use the edge of a knife to scrape across the surface, removing excess ingredients so the surface is flat. When measuring liquids, place the jug onto a flat surface and bend down to check at eye level.

If the water comes right to the top (with none left over) it is 1 1/2 tablespoon capacity. Use the same method to measure regular or Texas muffin pans.
