Cooking Measurement Converter
Convert cooking and baking measurements — cups, tablespoons, teaspoons, fluid ounces, milliliters, liters, grams, kilograms, ounces and pounds — into every other unit at once, with optional ingredient-specific volume-to-weight conversion.
Input
Optional. Select an ingredient to also convert between volume and weight units (their densities differ).

What does this tool convert?
Enter an amount, pick its unit, and the converter instantly shows the equivalent value in every other kitchen measurement: cups, tablespoons, teaspoons, fluid ounces, milliliters, liters (volume), plus grams, kilograms, ounces and pounds (weight). No more juggling a calculator while halving a recipe or converting a US cookbook to metric.
Volume-to-weight conversion with an ingredient
Volume and weight aren't directly interchangeable — a cup of flour weighs far less than a cup of honey, because ingredients have different densities. If you also pick an ingredient from the dropdown, the tool uses that ingredient's density (grams per cup) to fill in the weight columns when you entered a volume, or the volume columns when you entered a weight. Leave the ingredient as "None" and only same-type conversions (volume↔volume or weight↔weight) are shown — the cross columns display a dash.
Common cooking measurement units
- Teaspoon (tsp) / Tablespoon (tbsp) — the smallest common recipe measures; 3 teaspoons make 1 tablespoon.
- Fluid ounce (fl oz) — 2 tablespoons, common in US recipes and drink measurements.
- Cup — the workhorse US recipe unit, equal to 16 tablespoons or 8 fl oz.
- Milliliter (mL) / Liter (L) — the metric volume units used almost everywhere outside the US.
- Gram (g) / Kilogram (kg) — the metric weight units most baking recipes outside the US are written in.
- Ounce (oz) / Pound (lb) — US customary weight units, common for meat, produce and packaged ingredients.
Because baking especially rewards precision, weighing dry ingredients in grams is generally more accurate than scooping cups — the same "1 cup" of flour can vary by 10-20% in weight depending on how it's packed.
How to use it
- Enter the amount you want to convert.
- Choose the unit that amount is currently in (start typing to search).
- Optionally pick an ingredient if you want volume and weight cross-converted (e.g. "how many grams is 2 cups of flour?").
- The table updates instantly with the amount converted into every other unit.
- Copy the table or download it as a CSV to keep alongside a recipe.
FAQ
How many grams is a cup of flour? About 120 g for all-purpose flour — select "All-purpose flour" as the ingredient to see this and dozens of other ingredients converted automatically.
Why do I need to pick an ingredient for weight conversions? Volume and weight only convert directly for a specific substance, since density varies. A cup of feathers and a cup of lead weigh very differently — the same logic applies to flour versus honey. Without an ingredient selected, the tool only converts within the same measurement type (volume-to-volume or weight-to-weight).
How many tablespoons are in a cup? 16 tablespoons make 1 cup (8 fluid ounces).
Is a US cup the same as a metric cup? Not quite — this tool uses the US customary cup (236.588 mL). Some countries use a "metric cup" of 250 mL, which will give slightly different results.
