Cooking Converter
Convert between cups, tablespoons, teaspoons, milliliters, fluid ounces and water-equivalent grams for any recipe — free and private.
International recipes mix cups, spoons and milliliters freely, and this cooking converter translates them in seconds so your dishes turn out right. It uses standard US kitchen definitions plus a water-equivalent gram option for weighing liquids. Type an amount and the precise kitchen equivalent appears instantly.
Grams assume water density (1 ml = 1 g); flour, sugar and oil differ.
How to use the Cooking Converter

- Select the recipe's unit in the From list and your preferred unit in the To list.
- The converted amount appears instantly — note the water-equivalent rule for grams.
Cooking Converter — FAQs
Why do grams assume water density?
Grams measure weight while cups measure volume, and the link between them depends on density. This tool treats 1 milliliter as 1 gram, which is exact for water and close for milk or juice. Flour, sugar and oil are lighter or heavier, so for dry ingredients a kitchen scale is more accurate.
Is a US cup the same everywhere?
Not quite. The US customary cup used here is 236.588 ml, while many countries use a 250 ml metric cup and Japan uses 200 ml. The difference is small but matters in baking, so check which cup your recipe's country uses when precision counts.
How many teaspoons are in a tablespoon?
In the US system, 1 tablespoon equals exactly 3 teaspoons, and 16 tablespoons make 1 cup. This converter applies those exact ratios, so scaling a recipe up or down keeps every spoonful consistent without mental arithmetic.
