Are US and UK measurements the same?

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.

Should I use weight or volume?

Weight is more accurate, especially for baking. Professional bakers always weigh ingredients. Volume works fine for liquids and forgiving recipes like soups and stews.

How do I measure flour correctly by volume?

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.

Understanding Cooking Measurements

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.

Volume to Weight Formula

Weight = Volume × Ingredient Density
