Cooking Measurement Converter

Convert between cups, spoons, millilitres, grams and ounces for common baking ingredients. Because a cup of flour and a cup of sugar weigh differently, results are calculated per ingredient.

1 cup = 125 g

Approximate — density varies by product and packing.

How to use

Enter the amount, pick the ingredient, then choose the 'from' and 'to' units. The result updates instantly using that ingredient's density.

Use it to turn a US recipe (cups) into metric weights (grams) or the other way around. Densities are typical values — packing and brand can shift them slightly.

FAQ

Why does the ingredient matter?

Volume-to-weight depends on density: a cup of flour is about 125 g but a cup of sugar is about 200 g. Picking the ingredient gives the right conversion.

Which cup size is used?

The US legal cup of 240 ml. Tablespoons are 15 ml and teaspoons 5 ml.

How accurate is it?

Close enough for cooking, but densities vary with how tightly you pack flour or sugar. For precision baking, weigh ingredients on a scale.

Is anything uploaded?
