Common questions

What temperature is a turkey done?

165°F in the thickest part of the thigh.

How long should a turkey rest?

20 to 30 minutes before carving keeps it juicy.

How many grams are in a cup of flour?

About 125 g for all-purpose flour when spooned and leveled. Scooping straight from the bag packs it down and can add 20 percent or more.

Why does the same cup give different grams?

Cups measure volume, grams measure weight. Dense ingredients like honey weigh more per cup than light ones like cocoa powder.

Is a US cup the same as a UK or metric cup?

No. A US cup is 236.6 ml, a metric cup is 250 ml, and a UK imperial cup is about 284 ml. This tool uses the US cup.

What is a fan oven conversion?

Fan ovens circulate hot air, so recipes usually call for about 20 °C lower than a conventional oven.
