Cooking Measurement Converter

Family recipes list cups and spoons while your kitchen has a scale. This converter translates cups, tablespoons, teaspoons, milliliters and grams for the ingredients that appear most in home cooking: flour, sugar, water, oil and cornstarch.

Dry ingredients do not weigh the same, so a cup of flour is about 120 grams while a cup of sugar is closer to 180. The values follow the 240 milliliter cup used in most recipe books.

How to use it

  1. Pick the ingredient in your recipe.
  2. Type the amount and choose the unit used.
  3. Read the equivalent in milliliters and grams.
