How to use the Cooking Converter

Choose an ingredient, enter a quantity and select the source and destination cooking units.

How it works

Recipe volume-to-weight conversions depend on ingredient density. The converter uses practical estimates for several common ingredients rather than treating every cup as the same weight.

Example: One metric cup is 250 mL. A cup of water is estimated at 250 g, while a cup of plain flour is approximately 132.5 g using the selected density.

What to keep in mind

Scooping, packing, temperature, moisture and brand differences affect real weights. Use kitchen scales and a recipe author’s specified method when precision matters.

Frequently asked questions

Why does a cup weigh differently for each ingredient?

A cup measures volume, while grams measure mass; ingredients have different densities.

Which cup size is used?

The tool uses a 250 mL metric cup and 15 mL tablespoon.
