How to Use This Cooking Converter

  1. Choose your conversion Convert between cups, tablespoons, teaspoons, grams, millilitres, and ounces. Or scale an entire recipe up or down.
  2. Enter the amount Type in the quantity and select the units.
  3. See the conversion Results show multiple equivalent measurements so you can use whatever measuring equipment you have.

Use Cases

Converting US recipes to UK measurements. American recipes use cups, sticks of butter, and ounces. British recipes use grams and millilitres. This converter bridges the gap. no more guessing how much a "stick of butter" is (113g, in case you're wondering).

Scaling recipes up or down. Found a recipe that serves 4 but you need it for 6? Or 12 but you're cooking for 2? The recipe scaler multiplies all the ingredients proportionally. It even handles tricky scaling like "1 egg". rounding sensibly when scaling by odd amounts.

Converting between weight and volume. Different ingredients have different densities. A cup of flour weighs about 120g, but a cup of sugar is about 200g. This converter uses ingredient-specific densities for accurate conversions.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many grams in a cup of flour?

About 120g for plain/all-purpose flour (US cup). This varies slightly depending on how you scoop. spooned and levelled is lighter than scooped and packed. The converter uses standard densities for accuracy.

Is a US cup the same as a UK cup?

No. A US cup is 236.6ml, a UK/imperial cup is 284ml, and a metric cup (used in Australia and New Zealand) is 250ml. This converter uses US cups by default (since most online recipes use them) but you can select other systems.

How do I scale a recipe with eggs?

The recipe scaler rounds egg quantities sensibly. Scaling from 4 to 6 servings (1.5x) with 2 eggs rounds to 3 eggs. If you end up needing half an egg, it suggests using a small egg or beating one egg and using half.

Does this convert oven temperatures?

Yes. it converts between °C, °F, and gas marks. 180°C = 350°F = Gas Mark 4. Essential when following recipes from different countries.

Is my data private?

Yes. All calculations run in your browser.

Why Use This Cooking Converter?

Most cooking converters just do unit conversion. This one also handles recipe scaling and ingredient-specific density conversions. because a cup of flour and a cup of sugar weigh completely different amounts. It works offline too, so you can use it in the kitchen even without a signal.
