How It Works

UK recipes use a mix of metric (grams, ml) and imperial (ounces, pints) measurements, while American recipes rely on cups and tablespoons. This converter translates between cups, tablespoons, teaspoons, millilitres, fluid ounces, grams and ounces for common cooking ingredients.

Volume-to-weight conversions depend on the ingredient. A cup of flour weighs approximately 125 g, while a cup of sugar weighs approximately 200 g and a cup of butter weighs approximately 227 g. The calculator adjusts for ingredient density to give accurate gram equivalents for cup measures.

Example: Converting 2 US cups of plain flour

  1. 2 US cups flour ≈ 250 g
  2. 2 US cups = 473 ml
  3. 2 US cups = 32 US tablespoons
  4. 2 US cups ≈ 8.8 oz
