Kitchen Converter

Cooking Measurement Converter

Convert common kitchen measurements for cooking and baking.

How this tool works

Convert cooking and baking measurements while following a recipe. CasaLabs calculators keep assumptions visible, use source-backed formulas, and avoid storing personal information.

How to use it

Enter the amount to convert.
Choose the starting unit and target unit.
Use volume conversions for liquids and ingredient-specific conversions for density-sensitive ingredients.

Formula

Converted amount = amount × source unit volume ÷ target unit volume.

Example

1 cup converts to 16 tablespoons, 48 teaspoons, 8 fluid ounces, or about 236.59 milliliters.

Common mistakes

Treating grams-to-cups as universal.
Mixing US cups with metric cups without checking the recipe source.
Using dry ingredient volume when a recipe expects weight.

Assumptions

Volume-to-volume conversions are straightforward.
Weight-to-volume conversions depend on ingredient density.
Ingredient-specific conversions should show their assumptions clearly.

FAQ

Can grams always convert to cups?

Not universally. Grams measure weight, while cups measure volume, so the conversion depends on the ingredient.
