Why convert cooking measurements

Recipes use different measures: some in cups and spoons, some in grams and millilitres. Eyeballing the conversion ruins baking — flour, sugar and honey have very different densities. The converter uses the density of the specific ingredient: two cups of flour and two cups of honey weigh very differently.

What it does

  • Cups, tablespoons, teaspoons, millilitres and fluid ounces → grams.
  • Reverse direction: grams to cups and spoons for a specific ingredient.
  • 16 common ingredients with averaged densities — from flour to condensed milk.

How to use

  1. Choose the direction: volume to weight or weight to volume.
  2. Enter the amount, pick the measure and the ingredient.
  3. Read the grams result and the equivalents in other measures.

How it works

Each ingredient has an averaged density (grams per millilitre): the volume is multiplied by it to get the weight. A cup is 240 ml, a tablespoon 15 ml, a teaspoon 5 ml. Everything runs locally in your browser.

Frequently asked questions

Why does a cup of flour weigh different amounts?

Sifted flour is fluffier and lighter than packed flour — up to 20% difference. The table uses a typical spooned value of about 120 g per 240 ml cup.

How accurate are the densities?

These are averages from standard measurement tables: good enough for recipes that need spoon-level accuracy rather than gram-level.
