Volume-to-weight conversions depend on the ingredient and how it's packed. For baking, weighing is always more accurate.

How to use the Cooking Unit Converter

  1. Enter the amount and choose the units to convert from and to.
  2. Pick the ingredient so volume ↔ weight conversions are accurate.
  3. Read the result, plus grams, millilitres, cups and tablespoons.

What does this tool do?

A cup of flour weighs much less than a cup of sugar, so converting between volume and weight needs the ingredient's density. The converter uses typical baking values, such as 125 g per US cup of spooned flour and 200 g of granulated sugar.

Cups also differ by country: a US cup is 236.6 mL, a metric cup 250 mL and a UK imperial cup 284 mL. Within volumes or within weights, the ingredient doesn't matter.

Why use it?

  • 14 common ingredients.
  • US, metric and UK cups.
  • Sticks of butter included.

Accuracy and limits

  • Flour and other powders vary by ±10% depending on how they're scooped. For precise baking, weigh ingredients.
