Convert cooking measurements between cups, tablespoons, teaspoons, milliliters, ounces, grams, and more. Includes ingredient-specific conversions.
Estimates only. Ingredient densities, yields and cooking times vary with the product, the equipment and the conditions, and nothing here is dietary or medical advice.

Whether you're converting a recipe from metric to imperial, or need to know how many tablespoons are in a cup, our converter handles all cooking measurements. Get accurate conversions with optional ingredient-specific adjustments.
Cooking uses both volume measures (cups, tablespoons, ml) and weight measures (grams, ounces). Volume-to-weight conversions depend on ingredient density - a cup of flour weighs less than a cup of honey. Our calculator handles both types. Conversions use standard ingredient densities (as published in USDA FoodData Central) and the official cup definitions — the US legal cup is 240 mL (the FDA labeling standard), versus the imperial cup’s 284 mL.

Different ingredients have different densities. 1 cup of all-purpose flour weighs ~125g, but 1 cup of honey weighs ~340g. For volume-to-weight conversions, ingredient selection is crucial.
No! A US cup is 240ml, but an imperial cup is 284ml. A US tablespoon is 14.8ml vs UK at 15ml. Our calculator uses US measurements by default.
Weight is more accurate, especially for baking. Professional bakers always weigh ingredients. Volume works fine for liquids and forgiving recipes like soups and stews.
Spoon flour into the measuring cup and level with a knife. Never scoop directly - this packs the flour and can add 20% more than intended.
