Convert between cups, grams, tablespoons, and teaspoons by ingredient. Plus recipe scaling and baking pan equivalents.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do cups-to-grams conversions vary by ingredient?

Different ingredients have different densities. 1 cup of flour (~120g) weighs much less than 1 cup of sugar (~200g) or honey (~340g).

Are these conversions exact?

They are typical kitchen standards. Actual weight varies by how ingredients are packed, sifted, or measured.

Should I use cups or grams for baking?

Grams (weight) is more precise and recommended for consistent baking results. Cups (volume) are convenient but less accurate.

What is a US cup measurement?

1 US cup = 236.588 mL. This is different from the metric cup (250 mL) used in some countries.

How do I scale a recipe?

Multiply all ingredient amounts by (new servings ÷ original servings). Our recipe scaler does this automatically.
