Kitchen Unit Conversions

Recipes call for teaspoons, tablespoons, cups, pints, quarts, and gallons — all volume measures. This cooking measurement converter converts between them and metric milliliters and liters using exact US customary factors: 1 tsp = 4.93 ml, 1 tbsp = 14.79 ml, 1 cup = 236.59 ml.

Volume vs Weight

Baking by weight is far more reliable than scooping. A cup of all-purpose flour weighs about 125 g (density 0.53 g/ml), while a cup of honey weighs 340 g (density 1.42 g/ml). Select the ingredient and the converter reports the gram equivalent of your volume.

Scaling Recipes

Convert every ingredient of a scaled recipe with the same tool: multiply each volume by your scale factor, convert to grams per ingredient for accuracy, and adjust cooking time carefully — larger batches need more time in the oven but not proportionally more.
