180 grams is not 180 °C
A metric recipe might say "180 g flour" and "bake at 180 °C" in the same paragraph. The grams are a weight, which you convert with the chart above. The oven temperature converts on its own:
- 180 °C is about 350 °F, the most common baking temperature.
- In the UK it's also written as Gas Mark 4.
- A recipe that says 160 °C fan means the same oven setting for a fan (convection) oven.
A cup of chocolate chips, in grams
180 grams of chocolate chips is about 1 cup + 1 tbsp. If a metric cookie recipe uses 180 g of chips, one standard American cup plus a tablespoon matches it.
