Cooking Measurements Calculator — Convert Kitchen Units Accurately

Imagine you’re following a treasured family recipe that uses cups and tablespoons, but your scale reads grams — or you’re scaling a 4-serving cake to feed 10. Small errors in measurement turn a good bake into a lesson. A reliable Cooking Measurements Calculator removes the guesswork: convert between cups, tablespoons, teaspoons, milliliters, liters, ounces, grams and more — quickly and correctly.

What this is

A Cooking Measurements Calculator converts amounts from one unit to another. It handles:

Volume ↔ volume (cups ↔ ml ↔ tbsp ↔ tsp ↔ fl oz),
Weight ↔ weight (ounces ↔ grams ↔ pounds ↔ kilograms),
Volume ↔ weight when you supply the ingredient or its density.

It’s the tool you use when recipe units and your equipment don’t match.

Why it matters

Baking needs precision. Small volume errors with flour or sugar change texture.
Scaling recipes is easy and accurate.
International cooking: swap US cups for metric measures in seconds.
Consistency: weigh ingredients for repeatable, restaurant-quality results.

Core conversion formulas

Basic unit conversion (volume or weight):

Result = Input × Conversion_Factor

Example: To convert cups to milliliters:

ml = cups × 240

Volume ↔ weight (requires density):

mass (g) = volume (ml) × density (g/ml)

volume (ml) = mass (g) ÷ density (g/ml)

Water has density ≈ 1.00 g/ml, so 240 ml water ≈ 240 g.

Useful constants

1 cup = 240 ml
1 cup = 16 tbsp
1 tbsp = 15 ml
1 tsp = 5 ml
1 cup = 48 tsp
1 cup = 8 fl oz
1 fl oz (fluid ounce) = 29.5735 ml
1 ounce (weight) = 28.3495 g
1 pound = 16 oz = 453.592 g
1 liter = 1000 ml

How the calculator works — step by step

Enter amount (e.g., 1.5).
Choose “From” unit (cup, tbsp, g, ml, oz, etc.).
Choose “To” unit (what you want: g, ml, cups).
If converting volume ↔ weight, choose ingredient (or enter density).
Hit Convert — the calculator multiplies by the right factor or applies mass = volume × density.
Round sensibly (display typically to 1–2 decimal places or useful kitchen rounding).

FAQs

Cups measure volume, while grams measure mass. Ingredients pack differently (flour vs sugar vs oats), so the same cup can weigh different amounts.

In US cooking, yes — the standard cup is 240 ml.

You can, but weighing is more precise. If using cups, spoon and level the flour to avoid packing.

Powdered sugar is lighter. 1 cup powdered sugar < 1 cup granulated sugar in grams because of air pockets.

Yes. To convert cups to grams accurately, you need the ingredient’s density (or use common conversion charts).

No. Fluid ounces = volume; ounces = weight. They only align for water-like liquids.

Yes. Scale each ingredient by your factor, then use the calculator to convert to grams or cups.

Yes. Grams are consistent and precise, while cups vary by how ingredients are scooped.

About 13.5 g per tbsp (varies by oil). A more exact method is: 1 tbsp = 15 ml × oil density.

Not the conversions, but altitude affects baking behavior (rise, evaporation, timing). Adjust recipes accordingly.
