Mangez Moi turns French recipes into American measurements. Type the amount the recipe gives (grams, ml, cl or French spoons), pick the ingredient, and get US cups, tablespoons and ounces. The oven box converts a French thermostat number or °C into °F.

Volume from weight uses King Arthur Baking densities. Weigh for pastry and macarons.

What the converter does
- Weight to volume uses ingredient-specific densities from the King Arthur Baking ingredient weight chart, because 100 g of flour and 100 g of sugar fill very different cups.
- Liquids in ml, cl or dl convert by volume: 1 US cup = 236.6 ml, 1 cl = 10 ml, 1 dl = 100 ml.
- French spoons: a cuillère à soupe (c. à s.) is 15 ml and a cuillère à café (c. à c.) is 5 ml, almost the same as a US tablespoon and teaspoon.
- Oven: French thermostat (Th) × 30 = °C. Th 6 = 180 °C = 356 °F, which most US recipes round to 350 °F.
Best result: weigh. A $15 kitchen scale makes French recipes exact, because they were written by weight.
