In American recipes, the quantities are given in spoons and cups and the oven temperatures in Fahrenheit. If you often bake and cook using such recipes, you should get spoons and cups for easy measuring. The measurements can also be converted for one-time use. For simplicity, butter quantities can be found in the following table, as can the oven temperatures:
