How it helps

Convert recipes between metric and US kitchen units

Many international recipes use grams and milliliters, while many USA recipes use cups, tablespoons and teaspoons. This converter helps you quickly understand both systems while keeping the ingredient in mind.

For liquids, milliliters to cups is usually straightforward. For dry ingredients, grams to cups changes by ingredient because flour, sugar, oats and cocoa have different densities.

FAQ

Recipe measurement converter questions

What does the recipe measurement converter do?

This recipe measurement converter converts common cooking and baking measurements such as grams, ounces, US cups, metric cups, tablespoons, teaspoons and milliliters.

Why does grams to cups depend on the ingredient?

Grams measure weight, while cups measure volume. Different ingredients have different densities, so 100 grams of flour is not the same volume as 100 grams of sugar or butter.

Are recipe conversion results exact?

No. Recipe conversions are approximate because ingredient density, packing, brand, humidity and measuring method can change the result.

Can I use this for baking?

Yes, but for precise baking, a kitchen scale is usually more accurate than cup measurements. Use this converter as a practical guide.
