Cooking and Baking Converter

Convert cooking and baking measures between cups, millilitres, teaspoons, tablespoons, grams, ounces, and pounds, with ingredient-specific cup-to-gram values.

Use a comma or period as the decimal separator; do not use thousands separators or fractions.

Good to know

The cooking and baking converter converts directly in your browser between US volume, metric volume, British/Australian measures, and mass. A US cup equals 236.588 mL, a metric cup 250 mL; a US fluid ounce is not the same as an imperial fluid ounce, and an Australian tablespoon at 20 mL holds more than the standard US/UK tablespoon.

Typical searches include cups to grams, tablespoons to ml, and convert baking measures. Calculation runs locally in the browser. Kitchen measures are not the same worldwide, and gram values additionally depend on the chosen ingredient and measuring method — select an ingredient for realistic gram conversions, or “no ingredient” for pure measure conversion without a weight figure.

Typical use cases

Convert US recipes into metric measures

Convert cups, teaspoons, and tablespoons from US recipes into milliliters or grams to cook them with metric kitchen equipment.

Calculate gram figures for a specific ingredient

Choose the matching ingredient to get realistic gram values for flour, sugar, or other ingredients with different densities.

Adjust Australian or British measurements

Account for the larger Australian tablespoon (20 mL) compared to the US/UK spoon when cooking an Australian recipe.

Tips for better results

Select an ingredient for realistic gram values

Gram values depend heavily on the ingredient — choose the matching ingredient from the list instead of assuming a generic volume-to-weight factor.

Don't equate US and imperial fluid ounces

A US fluid ounce (29.57 mL) differs from the imperial fluid ounce (28.41 mL) — the difference becomes noticeable at larger quantities.

How it works

Step by step

  1. 1

    Enter value and source unit

    Enter the amount and choose the source unit from one of the four groups.

  2. 2

    Optionally select an ingredient

    Choose an ingredient for gram conversions, or “no ingredient” for pure measure conversion.

  3. 3

    Copy the result

    Copy one or all results for your recipe.

Features

Four measure groups

US volume, metric volume, British/Australian measures, and mass are cleanly separated.

Ingredient-specific gram conversion

Choose an ingredient for realistic gram values, or convert purely between measure types without an ingredient.

Local conversion

Calculation happens directly in the browser, without transmission to a server.

Frequently asked questions

Is a US cup the same as a metric cup?

No. A US cup equals 236.588 mL, a metric cup 250 mL — a small but, across several cups, noticeable difference.

Why do I need an ingredient for gram conversions?

Because the same volume unit weighs differently depending on the ingredient — without an ingredient, the tool can only convert between measures of the same quantity type.

Are my inputs uploaded?

No. Conversion runs entirely locally in the browser.
