Cooking Measurements
Cups to tablespoons, grams to cups, ml to teaspoons and more
About this tool
This free cooking measurements converter converts between cups, tablespoons, teaspoons, fluid ounces, and grams using real ingredient densities — not a one-size-fits-all formula. Select an ingredient (flour, sugar, butter, honey, rice, and more) and then enter your amount; the converter gives you the accurate gram equivalent rather than a generic approximation.
Why ingredient density matters: a cup of all-purpose flour weighs about 120–125 g, a cup of granulated sugar weighs about 200 g, and a cup of honey weighs about 340 g. Using a generic cup-to-gram conversion of 240 g (water) for all ingredients would give wildly wrong results in baking. This converter uses established culinary density values for each ingredient.
International recipe conversion is the most common use case. UK and Australian recipes often list ingredients by weight in grams, while US recipes typically use volume cups and spoons. A British recipe calling for 225 g of butter is 1 cup, which is 2 sticks — this converter handles that translation instantly and accurately.
Baking is particularly sensitive to measurement accuracy. Using weight (grams) rather than volume (cups) is strongly recommended by professional bakers because it eliminates the variability of how tightly flour is packed into a cup. A sifted cup of flour can weigh as little as 100 g while a packed cup can exceed 150 g — a 50% difference that noticeably affects cookies, cakes, and bread.
