## Overview (en)

Cooking measurements converts kitchen volumes such as US teaspoons, tablespoons, cups and fluid ounces, metric teaspoons, tablespoons and cups, milliliters and liters. A US cup is 236.5882365 mL and a metric cup is 250 mL. It can also convert to or from grams and kilograms when you enter a measured ingredient density in g/mL.

## Supported tasks (en)

Converts US and metric cooking volumes and mass. Volume-to-mass conversions require your measured ingredient density; there is no universal cups-to-grams factor.

## Steps (en)

1. Adjust the values; an initial result is calculated from the defaults.
2. Change the basic settings or open Advanced mode to fine-tune the result.
3. Review and copy or download your result. Pause Live results to run manually. Sources or individual settings above 20,000 characters require an explicit run.

## Limitations (en)

Use finite numbers, valid dates and the ranges shown by each control. Invalid values produce an error without a downloadable result.

## Questions (en)

### How many milliliters are in a US cup?

A US cup is 236.5882365 mL in this tool, a US tablespoon is 14.78676478125 mL and a US teaspoon is 4.92892159375 mL. Metric measures are rounder: 250 mL per cup, 15 mL per tablespoon and 5 mL per teaspoon.

### How do I convert cups of flour to grams?

Pick US cup as the From unit and g as the To unit, then enter the ingredient density in g/mL. The tool multiplies the volume in milliliters by that density. It uses no built-in cups-to-grams factor, since packing and moisture change the result.

### What density range can I enter for mass conversions?

The ingredient density field accepts values from 0.001 to 30 g/mL. It is only needed when one side of the conversion is grams or kilograms; gram-to-kilogram and volume-to-volume conversions ignore it.
