In American recipes, measurements are provided in spoonfuls and cups, and oven temperatures are given in Fahrenheit. If you often bake and cook using such recipes, it's recommended to have spoons and cups for easy measuring. For one-time use, measurements can also be converted. Butter measurements are easily obtained from the following table for simplicity, as are oven temperatures:
