All-in-One Kitchen Converter

Our kitchen calculator uses standard conversion factors that are widely accepted in cooking and baking. For volume measurements, we use: 1 cup = 236.588 ml, 1 tablespoon = 14.787 ml, 1 teaspoon = 4.929 ml. For weight conversions: 1 ounce = 28.35 grams, 1 pound = 453.592 grams. Temperature conversions use standard formulas: °C = (°F – 32) × 5/9. While these are industry standards, slight variations can occur based on ingredient density and measurement techniques.

Converting cups to grams (weight) is essential for baking accuracy because volume measurements can vary significantly based on how ingredients are packed. For example, one cup of flour can weigh anywhere from 120-150 grams depending on whether it’s spooned, scooped, or sifted. Weight measurements eliminate this variability. Our calculator uses standard weights: 1 cup all-purpose flour = 120g, 1 cup granulated sugar = 200g, 1 cup butter = 227g. These are averages that work well for most recipes.

Oven temperature conversion is straightforward with our calculator. Simply enter the temperature, select whether it’s in Fahrenheit or Celsius, and choose your desired output. For quick reference: 325°F = 163°C, 350°F = 177°C, 375°F = 191°C, 400°F = 204°C, 425°F = 218°C, 450°F = 232°C. Gas marks are also included for UK recipes. Remember that oven temperatures can vary, so an oven thermometer is recommended for precision baking.

Yes! Our Ingredients Scaling tab allows you to easily scale recipes up or down. Enter the original amount and unit, select your scaling factor (from 25% to 400%), and get the adjusted measurement. The calculator accounts for different ingredient types and provides appropriate conversions. For best results when scaling: Adjust spices and seasonings to taste rather than strictly proportionally, be careful with leavening agents (baking powder/soda), and note that cooking times may need adjustment for significantly scaled recipes.

Fluid ounces measure volume (used for liquids) while ounces measure weight (used for solids). They are not interchangeable. In the US measurement system: 1 fluid ounce of water weighs approximately 1 ounce, but this doesn’t hold true for other liquids or ingredients. Our calculator distinguishes between these units: Use milliliters, cups, or fluid ounces for liquid volumes; use grams or ounces for weights. When converting between volume and weight, you need to know the ingredient’s density, which our ingredient-specific conversions account for.

Our calculator makes metric to imperial conversions simple. For volume: milliliters to cups/tablespoons/teaspoons. For weight: grams to ounces/pounds. For temperature: Celsius to Fahrenheit. Simply select “Convert From” your metric unit and “Convert To” your desired imperial unit. Common conversions include: 100g = 3.5oz, 250ml = 1 cup + 2 tablespoons, 180°C = 350°F. The calculator handles all the math, ensuring accurate conversions for any recipe, whether it’s from Europe, Australia, or North America.
