Butter, margerine, oil conversion

I prefer to use oil to the others and have always flown by the seat of my pants. If the butter was to be melted, I was okay, but if not, it was touch and go.

Because Starmist asked for a conversion chart, I ended up finding (completely by mistake) an oil conversion chart. Thanks Starmist!

Cake pan size conversions

I never have the size they ask for. It's either being used or I'd rather use my springform so I don't have to do the "knife down the side and underneath, whilst praying it doesn't break up too much" thing.

I tried to make it easy to read here, but honestly, the allrecipes site is much nicer than what I could do here.

Also, U.S to metric conversions are in the next post down, so you may need to go there first... I've tried not to forget anyone.

If you have an unusual pan size, and would like to find out the capacity, measure the amount of water it takes to fill the pan. Then compare it with the pans above to determine the substitution. For your cake to rise evenly, you should only fill this pan to the half-way mark with batter. The baking time may change as well, so it is imperative that you keep a watchful eye on your cake, and check for doneness using your preferred method.
