How it works
The cooking converter changes recipe measurements between units. Volume units include teaspoons, tablespoons, cups, fluid ounces, milliliters and liters. Weight units include grams, kilograms, ounces and pounds. Enter an amount, pick the units, and the result is shown with up to four decimal places.
Volumes are converted through milliliters using US customary measures: 1 teaspoon = 4.92892 ml, 1 tablespoon = 14.7868 ml, 1 cup = 236.588 ml and 1 fluid ounce = 29.5735 ml. Weights are converted through grams: 1 ounce = 28.3495 g, 1 pound = 453.592 g and 1 kilogram = 1,000 g. So 1 cup equals 16 tablespoons or 48 teaspoons.
You can convert volume to volume or weight to weight, but not volume to weight. A cup of flour and a cup of sugar weigh very different amounts, so turning cups into grams needs the density of the specific ingredient, which this converter doesn't guess. Also note that metric cups (250 ml) and UK measures differ slightly from the US measures used here.
Frequently asked questions
How many tablespoons are in a cup?+
There are 16 tablespoons in a US cup, and 3 teaspoons in a tablespoon, so a cup is 48 teaspoons.
How many milliliters are in a cup?+
A US cup is about 236.6 ml. Recipes from countries that use metric cups may mean 250 ml instead.
How many grams are in an ounce?+
One ounce of weight is about 28.35 grams, and one pound (16 ounces) is about 453.6 grams.
Can I convert cups to grams?+
Not directly, because it depends on the ingredient. A cup of water weighs about 237 g, but a cup of flour weighs much less, so you need an ingredient-specific chart or a kitchen scale.
