Cooking Unit Converter
Convert cups, tablespoons and teaspoons to grams or milliliters
Convert cups, tablespoons, teaspoons, milliliters and liters, and cross over to grams, kilograms or ounces for common baking ingredients.
Ingredient weights are approximate averages and can vary by brand and by how the ingredient is packed or leveled.

What this tool does
Volume-to-volume conversions, like cups to tablespoons, are exact ratios. Crossing from volume to weight, like cups of flour to grams, needs an ingredient's density, so choosing an ingredient applies its approximate average grams-per-milliliter figure. Those figures are commonly published averages for US measuring cups and can vary by brand, by how tightly a dry ingredient is packed, and by humidity, so treat the weight result as a helpful estimate rather than an exact figure.
How to use it
- Pick the ingredient you're measuring.
- Enter the amount and its unit.
- Choose the unit to convert to; it can be volume or weight.

Frequently asked questions
- How accurate is the volume-to-weight conversion?
- It uses commonly published average densities for each ingredient, which is accurate enough for everyday cooking but can be off by a few percent depending on brand and packing.
- Does the ingredient matter for cup-to-tablespoon conversions?
- No. Volume-to-volume conversions are fixed ratios that do not depend on the ingredient; only converting to or from a weight unit uses the ingredient's density.
- Why isn't my ingredient in the list?
- The list covers common baking staples with well-established density figures. For anything else, weigh it directly or use the general Unit Converter for exact volume or weight conversions.
