Cooking conversions are essential for baking and adapting international recipes. When reading an English recipe, you often encounter "cups" and "tablespoons", while your kitchen scale measures in "grams".
All values follow internationally accepted definitions and are rounded to the decimals you choose. The calculation runs entirely in your browser, so nothing is uploaded or stored on a server.
History & Background
The "cup" unit dates back to medieval Europe, when people used actual drinking cups to measure ingredients. Later, the US officially defined 1 cup as 236.588 ml in the late 19th century.
Conversion Details
Cooking volume conversion is different from pure physical conversion because different ingredients have different densities.
This tool provides both volume units (cups, tablespoons, ml) and approximate weights (grams) for common ingredients.
