Cooking Converter
Convert between grams, milliliters, cups, tablespoons, teaspoons, ounces and pounds for cooking and baking.
Ingredient density is used when converting between weight (grams) and volume (ml, cups, spoons).
What is Cooking Converter?
A cooking converter translates recipe measurements between weight units (grams, kilograms, ounces, pounds) and volume units (milliliters, cups, tablespoons, teaspoons). Indian recipes commonly use grams and milliliters, while many international recipes use cups and spoons.
When converting between weight and volume, the ingredient matters — a cup of flour weighs far less than a cup of honey. This converter uses each ingredient's density to give accurate results.
How does the Cooking Converter work?
Conversions within the same category (grams to ounces, or ml to cups) use fixed unit factors.
Cross-category conversions use the selected ingredient's density, e.g. all-purpose flour is about 0.53 g/ml while water is 1.0 g/ml.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the ingredient matter?
Different ingredients have different densities. A cup of flour weighs about 120 g while a cup of honey weighs about 340 g, so the same volume converts to very different weights.
Is a US cup the same as an Indian cup?
This converter uses the US standard cup of 240 ml. Some older Indian recipes use a 200 ml cup, so check your recipe's convention when precision matters.
How many grams are in a tablespoon?
It depends on the ingredient: about 15 g for water, 8 g for flour, and 12 g for granulated sugar. Select the ingredient in the converter for exact values.
