What is Cooking Measurement Converter?

Recipe units are US customary measures expressed in millilitres, and the relationships between them are tidy in a way general volume conversions are not: three teaspoons make a tablespoon, sixteen tablespoons make a cup, eight fluid ounces make a cup, four cups make a quart, two cups make a pint. All of those hold exactly here, because every spoon and cup size is stored as its precise millilitre value. A US teaspoon is 4.92892159375 ml and a tablespoon is 14.78676478125 ml, which is why a cup lands on 236.5882365 ml. What this tool cannot do is convert volume to weight. A cup of water is 236.59 ml; a cup of flour is roughly 120 g; a cup of honey is about 340 g. Ingredient density is not in any conversion table, so for anything measured by weight, use the weight converter.

Convert kitchen measurements — cups, tablespoons, teaspoons, milliliters, fluid ounces and common ingredient weights. Rescue any recipe that uses unfamiliar units.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these US or British spoons?
US. The teaspoon here holds 4.92892159375 ml, against 5 ml for a modern British metric spoon. It is a small difference that compounds: across three teaspoons it becomes the difference between a quarter teaspoon and a fully rounded one. Imperial gallons are in the list as a single extra option.
Can it tell me how many grams a cup of flour is?
No, and that is a deliberate limit rather than a missing feature. Mass depends on density, and density is a property of the ingredient, not of the measuring cup. Water at 236.59 ml is close enough to 240 g; plain flour is nearer 120 g; honey runs to about 340 g. Use the weight converter with a kitchen scale instead.
Do the spoon relationships actually work out?
Yes, exactly. Three teaspoons make a tablespoon, sixteen tablespoons make a cup, eight fluid ounces make a cup, and four cups make a quart. Nothing is rounded between the steps, so converting teaspoons to quarts and back returns the number you started with.
What about sticks of butter or a pinch of salt?
Neither is here. A stick of butter is a volume and a weight depending on which country you are in, and a pinch has no defensible size at all. Both would add false precision to a table that is otherwise built entirely on exact definitions.
