Oven and Air Fryer Conversion
General rule:
- Reduce the oven temperature by 25–30%
- Reduce cooking time by 20–30%
- Air fryers circulate heat rapidly, so they cook hotter and faster.
Air fryers use forced convection, meaning:
- Food browns faster
- Moisture evaporates quicker
- Heat penetrates more efficiently
So dropping the temperature keeps food from burning while still cooking it faster.

Dry Measurement
- Dry conversions vary slightly by ingredient density, but these values are standard culinary approximations used in cookbooks and professional kitchens.
- Grams listed are based on general dry goods (flour, sugar, spices, etc.).
- For ultra‑precise baking, weight is always more accurate — but this chart keeps everyday cooking simple and consistent.
| (oz) | (tsp) | (tbsp) | Cups | (g) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 tsp | 0.17 oz | 1 tsp | - | - | 5 g |
| 1 tbsp | 0.5 oz | 3 tsp | 1 tbsp | - | 15 g |
| 2 tbsp | 1 oz | 6 tsp | 2 tbsp | - | 30 g |
| ¼ cup | 2 oz | 12 tsp | 4 tbsp | 0.25 cup | 60 g |
| ⅓ cup | 2.6 oz | 16 tsp | 5 tbsp + 1 tsp | 0.33 cup | 75 g |
| ½ cup | 4 oz | 24 tsp | 8 tbsp | 0.5 cup | 120 g |
| 1 cup | 8 oz | 48 tsp | 16 tbsp | 1 cup | 240 g |
| 8 oz | 8 oz | 48 tsp | 16 tbsp | 1 cup | 240 g |
| 16 oz | 16 oz | 96 tsp | 32 tbsp | 2 cups | 480 g |
Liquid Measurement
- Liquid measurements convert cleanly between oz → ml → cups → pints, unlike dry goods which vary by density.
- Grams and pounds here represent water‑equivalent liquids, which is the standard baseline for kitchen conversions.
- These values match common cookbook and culinary‑school charts, making them ideal for your conversion page.
