Smart ingredient and kitchen unit converter
Cooking Measurement Converter
Convert recipe quantities accurately across cups, spoons, millilitres, grams, ounces and more. Choose the ingredient whenever volume and weight are mixed.
Convert a recipe measurement
Enter a whole number, decimal or fraction. For compound volumes you can also type an expression such as 2 tbsp + 1 tsp.

–Measuring-cup guide
The fill level is a visual guide for the converted volume and is not a replacement for marked measuring equipment.

Common equivalents
The same scaled quantity shown in useful kitchen units.
Volume-to-weight results are practical estimates. Ingredient brand, humidity, packing and measuring technique can change the real weight; use a kitchen scale when precision matters.
Oven temperature converter
Convert common recipe temperatures between Celsius, Fahrenheit and Gas Mark. Gas Mark results are rounded to the nearest standard setting.
Equivalent oven settings
Actual oven temperatures can vary. Check the appliance manual and use an oven thermometer when temperature is critical.

Choose a common example and then adjust any field.

Cup and spoon standards
These capacities are used by the calculator for the selected regional standard.
Why ingredient choice matters
Cups, spoons and millilitres measure volume; grams and ounces measure weight. The bridge between them is the ingredient’s bulk density, so one cup of flour does not weigh the same as one cup of honey.
Fractions that work in the input
Use decimals, ordinary fractions, mixed numbers or common Unicode fractions. Examples include 1.5, 3/4, 1 1/2 and ¾.
Spoon, scoop and level consistently
Packed brown sugar, sifted flour and a heaped spoon can differ significantly from a level measure. Follow the recipe method and weigh dry ingredients for repeatable baking.
Regional measures are not identical
This calculator distinguishes US, metric, imperial and Australian cup-and-spoon standards. Australian tablespoons are larger than standard metric tablespoons.
Kitchen conversion accuracy
- Choose the ingredient before converting between volume and weight.
- Use the regional standard stated by the recipe author.
- Measure liquids on a level surface at eye height.
- For baking, weigh flour and other dry ingredients whenever possible.
- Treat density-based conversions as estimates and keep the same method throughout the recipe.
Cooking Measurement Converter FAQ
Can cups be converted directly to grams?
Only after choosing an ingredient. A cup measures volume and a gram measures weight, so the calculation requires an estimated density.
Why does one cup of flour weigh less than one cup of sugar?
The particles have different size, shape and packing. Flour usually traps more air, so the same volume has less mass than granulated sugar.
How large is a cup?
A US cup is about 236.59 ml, a metric or Australian cup is 250 ml, and an imperial cup is about 284.13 ml.
How large is an Australian tablespoon?
An Australian tablespoon is 20 ml. A metric tablespoon is 15 ml, while a US tablespoon is about 14.79 ml.
Can I enter fractions such as 1 1/2 cups?
Yes. The converter accepts decimals, ordinary fractions, mixed numbers and common fraction characters.
Does the recipe multiplier change the source amount?
Yes. The entered amount is multiplied first, and the scaled quantity is then converted to the selected target unit.
What does Gas Mark mean?
Gas Mark is a numbered oven setting used in some British and Irish recipes. The calculator gives the nearest standard Celsius and Fahrenheit equivalent.
Are volume-to-weight conversions exact?
No. They are practical estimates because brand, humidity, particle size, packing and measuring technique can change the real weight.
Should I use a kitchen scale for baking?
A scale is usually the most repeatable choice for flour, sugar and other dry ingredients, especially in recipes where ratios matter.
