Cooking Converters

Convert kitchen measures: cups, grams and recipe quantities.

Recipes mix cups, grams and spoons, and a cup is not a fixed weight: a cup of flour is lighter than a cup of sugar. The cups to grams converter uses the density of the ingredient you choose, and the grams to cups converter goes the other way for recipes written by weight.

The recipe converter changes units across a whole ingredient list at once, so a recipe from one country can be cooked with another country's measuring tools. Ingredient densities are averages, since how flour is scooped or packed changes the weight, so for baking a kitchen scale is more reliable than any cup. Metric and US cups also differ slightly (about 237 ml for a US cup and 250 ml for a metric cup), so note which one a recipe means before you convert, and keep the same unit system for every ingredient in one recipe.
