About this Cooking Converter

This cooking converter understands that a cup is a volume, not a weight: a cup of flour weighs about 120 g while a cup of sugar weighs about 200 g. Pick the ingredient, enter the amount in cups, tablespoons, grams or ounces, and get all four measures for that specific ingredient — the fix for recipes written in the other system.

How to use it

1. Select the ingredient (flour, sugar, butter or water).
2. Enter the amount and the measure it is given in.
3. Click Convert to see cups, tablespoons, grams and ounces.

Example

2 cups of flour is 240 g, but 2 cups of sugar is 400 g — using the same weight for both would ruin the recipe.

Frequently asked questions

Why does the ingredient matter?

Cups measure space, grams measure weight. Light, airy flour packs a cup loosely; dense sugar packs it heavily, so their gram weights per cup differ a lot.

How accurate are the cup weights?

They use standard reference weights (flour 120 g, sugar 200 g, butter 227 g, water 237 g per US cup). Spooning flour into the cup rather than scooping keeps you closest to these.
