Cooking & Baking Conversion Guide

In cooking and especially in baking, precision is everything. A slight miscalculation in your ingredients can be the difference between a perfect cake and a failed one. Our recipe measurement converter takes the guesswork out of the process, helping you convert complex units like grams to cups or ounces to tablespoons effortlessly. This tool is essential for anyone following recipes from different regions (e.g., US vs. UK).

Common Measurement Conversion Chart

Here is a quick reference table for some of the most common kitchen conversions:

US Measurement Metric Equivalent (Approx.)
1 Cup (All-Purpose Flour) 120 grams
1 Cup (Granulated Sugar) 200 grams
1 Cup (Liquid) 237 ml
1 Tablespoon (tbsp) 15 ml
1 Teaspoon (tsp) 5 ml
1 Ounce (oz) by weight 28.35 grams

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q1: How do you accurately convert grams to cups?

The conversion from grams to cups depends entirely on the ingredient's density. For example, 1 cup of flour (120g) weighs much less than 1 cup of sugar (200g). For best results, specify the ingredient or use a standard kitchen scale. Our tool uses standard accepted values.

Q2: What is the difference between a fluid ounce and a weight ounce?

A fluid ounce (fl oz) is a measure of volume, while a weight ounce (oz) is a measure of mass. They are only equivalent for water and similar liquids. Don't confuse the two when converting ingredients!

Q3: Is it better to measure ingredients by weight or volume?

Measuring by weight (using grams) is far more accurate than measuring by volume (using cups). This is why most professional bakers prefer using a kitchen scale. This calculator helps bridge the gap if you only have measuring cups.
