Kitchen Converter

Why precise kitchen conversions matter

Baking is more chemistry than art: a 10 g flour error can flatten a cake, and a tablespoon too much oil can split a vinaigrette. Yet many recipes still mix cups, grams and millilitres. Our converter lets you switch units instantly, so you can focus on flavour, not mental maths.

We use the USDA’s “water-like density” baseline: 1 g ≈ 1 ml ≈ 0.00422675 cups. For dry ingredients—flour, sugar, oats—density varies, so always weigh for critical recipes. Check our Cups ↔ Grams printable chart for common ingredient densities.

Example: converting ¾ cup of honey to grams

1. Enter 0.75 in the Amount box.
2. Select “Cups” → “Grams”.
3. Click Convert → result ≈ 255 g (honey is denser than water).

Tip: for thick syrups, coat the cup with a drop of oil—honey slides right out.

Kitchen-conversion FAQ

Are US and UK tablespoons the same?

No. A US tablespoon is 14.8 ml, while a UK/AU metric tablespoon is 20 ml.

Why do my cup-to-gram values differ from yours?

Cup volume is fixed, but density changes by ingredient. We assume water-like density for a quick baseline.

Can I switch to ounces?

Ounces & Fahrenheit will be added soon—stay tuned!
