Cooking Unit Converter

The American volumetric system is traditional and practical in the kitchen because it does not require a scale. A standard American "cup" is 236 ml. However, for pastry and baking, weight (grams) is much more precise because ingredients like flour can vary in density.

The standard American tablespoon is 14.79 ml, usually rounded to 15 ml. European soup spoons vary (10-20 ml). The American teaspoon is about 4.93 ml, rounded to 5 ml. In cooking, a 5% difference is rarely critical.

White flour weighs about 120-130 g per cup (sifted) or 150 g (packed). 1 cup of sugar ≈ 200 g. 1 cup of butter = 227 g. 1 cup of milk = 240 ml ≈ 245 g. For precise results, always use a scale in baking.

A standard US cup is 236.588 ml, a figure recipe tables round to 240 ml. The converter works on the precise measure, so half a cup comes out at about 118 ml.

In the US system a tablespoon is 14.787 ml, rounded to 15 ml in recipes, while a teaspoon is 4.929 ml, rounded to 5 ml. The converter uses the precise values.

No. The converter keeps volume measures separate from weight measures, because going from cups to grams depends on the density of the ingredient. Volume and weight each convert within their own tab.

Yes, and not because we promise it: this tool runs entirely inside your browser. What you type or upload never leaves your device, so it never reaches a server of ours and there is nothing we could keep, read or lose. You can check it yourself: open the page, disconnect from the internet, and the tool keeps working.

No. There is no database behind this tool: we do not store your files, your text or your results. When you close the tab nothing is left — not here with us, because it never arrived, and not anywhere else.

We do not profile you: there is no account to create, we never ask for your email to use a tool, and we keep no profile of what you do. We are an Italian company and we work under the GDPR and the other European rules, with the privacy notice and the consent request in plain sight. One thing we say in full rather than hiding it behind a slogan: the ads on the page are Google's, and Google may use cookies to personalise them. You decide from the consent banner: if you say no the ads stay, but they are not personalised, and the tool works exactly the same.

From the ads on the page, and that is all. We do not sell your data, there is no hidden paid plan, there is no limit that eventually asks for your card, and you do not have to sign up. The ads pay for the servers and for the time we spend writing the tools: that is how we can keep them open to everyone.
