Cooking Measurement Converter
Convert between cups, tablespoons, teaspoons, milliliters, grams, and ounces for common cooking and baking ingredients. Because ingredients have different densities, a cup of flour weighs much less than a cup of honey — so we convert by ingredient for accuracy.

How It Works
The converter first turns your volume — cups, tablespoons, teaspoons, or fluid ounces — into milliliters, since volume converts cleanly between those units. To reach a weight in grams it then uses a density figure specific to the ingredient you select, because a cup of flour and a cup of honey weigh very different amounts. This two-step approach is what makes the gram and ounce results accurate enough to bake with, not just rough estimates.
Formula
Milliliters = Amount × ml/unit; Grams = Cups × grams-per-cup (varies by ingredient).
Examples
1 cup of flour
1 cup of all-purpose flour ≈ 120 grams.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many grams are in a cup?
It depends on the ingredient. A cup of all-purpose flour is about 120 g, granulated sugar about 200 g, butter about 227 g, and water about 236 g. That's why this converter asks for the ingredient.
Why convert by ingredient?
Cups measure volume, grams measure weight. Different ingredients have different densities, so the same volume weighs different amounts. Converting by ingredient gives accurate results — important for baking.
