Convert the recipe below into the units and equipment I actually use. 1. **Weights.** Convert volume measures to grams for anything where it matters: flour, sugar, butter, and any dry goods. Say which ingredient you used which conversion factor for, since a cup of flour is not a fixed weight and the method of filling the cup changes it. 2. **Liquids** in millilitres, and note where a small rounding will not matter. 3. **Temperature.** Give the conventional oven temperature and the fan oven temperature separately, plus the gas mark. 4. **Equipment.** Convert tin and pan sizes to what I have, and adjust the timing if the depth changes. 5. **Terminology.** Translate any ingredient names that differ between countries, and flag any that are not the same product despite the same name. Flag anything where converting introduces real risk of failure, particularly in baking. Recipe: What I have (oven type, tins, scales):
Making it yours
- Paste your own material where the prompt asks for it. Everything above that line is instruction, not content.
- Delete any rule that does not apply to you. A shorter prompt that fits beats a thorough one that does not.
- If the answer comes back vague, add a line saying what you do not want. Constraints work better than encouragement.
Adapting a recipe. Scaling, converting units, cutting the cost, the pans, the time, or an ingredient someone cannot eat.
