Cooking Measurement Converter
Convert cups, tablespoons, teaspoons, fluid ounces, millilitres and litres for recipes.
Volume only — to swap cups for grams you need the ingredient’s density (a cup of flour weighs far less than a cup of sugar). UK and Australian tablespoons differ slightly from the US tablespoon used here.
