Cooking Unit Conversions Made Easy
Cooking measurements vary between countries and recipes. This guide provides essential conversions for the kitchen.
Volume Conversions
1 cup = 236.6 mL = 16 tablespoons = 48 teaspoons. 1 tablespoon = 14.8 mL = 3 teaspoons. 1 fluid ounce = 29.6 mL. These conversions are approximate—for baking, use a kitchen scale for accuracy.
Weight vs Volume
Professional recipes use weight (grams) rather than volume (cups) because it's more precise. 1 cup of flour weighs about 120g, but 1 cup of sugar weighs about 200g. Our volume converter works for liquid measurements.
