Cooking Measurement Converter Convert between cooking volume and weight measurements — teaspoons, cups, ounces, grams, and more.

What Is Cooking Measurement Converter?

The Cooking Measurement Converter instantly converts between all common cooking measurements for both volume and weight. Volume conversions include teaspoons, tablespoons, fluid ounces, cups, pints, quarts, gallons, milliliters, and liters. Weight conversions include ounces, pounds, grams, and kilograms. This tool eliminates the guesswork when following recipes from different countries or when scaling recipes that use different measurement systems.

Why Use Cooking Measurement Converter?

• Converts between all common cooking volume units
• Separate weight conversion mode (oz, lbs, g, kg)
• Instant conversion to all units simultaneously
• Essential for following international recipes

Common Use Cases

Recipe Conversion

Convert between US cups/tablespoons and metric measurements.

International Recipes

Follow recipes from different countries that use different measurement systems.

Scaling Recipes

Convert measurements when halving, doubling, or adjusting recipe quantities.

Baking Precision

Convert between metric and US weight or volume units for consistent baking results.

Technical Guide

Volume conversions are based on US customary measurements: 1 teaspoon = 4.929 mL, 1 tablespoon = 3 teaspoons = 14.787 mL, 1 fluid ounce = 2 tablespoons = 29.574 mL, 1 cup = 8 fl oz = 236.588 mL, 1 pint = 2 cups = 473.176 mL, 1 quart = 2 pints = 946.353 mL, 1 gallon = 4 quarts = 3785.41 mL. Weight conversions: 1 ounce = 28.3495 g, 1 pound = 453.592 g. Note that volume-to-weight conversions for ingredients depend on density (1 cup of flour ≠ 1 cup of sugar by weight). This converter handles volume-to-volume and weight-to-weight conversions only.

Tips & Best Practices

• 1
  For baking, weight measurements (grams) are more accurate than volume (cups)
• 2
  1 cup of different ingredients weighs different amounts due to density
• 3
  US cups (236 mL) differ from metric cups (250 mL) and Imperial cups (284 mL)
• 4
  When precision matters, invest in a kitchen scale for weight-based measurements

Frequently Asked Questions

Q How many tablespoons in a cup?

16 tablespoons = 1 US cup = 236.588 mL.

Q How many teaspoons in a tablespoon?

3 teaspoons = 1 tablespoon = 14.787 mL.

Q Are metric and US cups the same?

No. US cup = 236.588 mL, metric cup = 250 mL, Imperial cup = 284.131 mL. This converter uses US cups.

Q Can I convert cups to grams?

Not directly — it depends on the ingredient. 1 cup of flour ≈ 120g, 1 cup of sugar ≈ 200g, 1 cup of butter ≈ 227g. This converter handles volume-to-volume and weight-to-weight.

Q What is a fluid ounce?

A fluid ounce is a unit of volume (29.574 mL), not weight. It is different from a weight ounce (28.350 g). They happen to be similar for water but differ for other ingredients.
