What does this recipe converter do?

It converts ingredient measurements between units (cups, grams, ounces, etc.).

Why does converting volume to weight vary by ingredient?

Different ingredients have different densities, requiring ingredient-specific conversion values.

Is weight or volume more accurate for baking?

Weight is generally more precise and consistent than volume measurements like cups.

What Is the Recipe Ingredient Converter?

Recipe measurements are often given in cups, tablespoons, or milliliters — this calculator converts between common kitchen volume units and estimates the equivalent weight in grams for a few common ingredients.

Formula

All volumes convert through milliliters as a common base (1 cup ≈ 236.6 ml, 1 tbsp ≈ 14.8 ml, 1 tsp ≈ 4.9 ml, 1 fl oz ≈ 29.6 ml). Weight is estimated as Volume (ml) × Ingredient Density (g/ml).

How to Use This Calculator

Enter the amount you want to convert.
Select the ingredient to get an approximate weight in grams.
Select the unit you're converting from and the unit you want to convert to.

Worked Example

1 cup converts to about 16 tablespoons, and 1 cup of all-purpose flour weighs roughly 125 grams (236.6 ml × 0.53 g/ml).

Tips

Ingredient density varies by how it's packed (sifted vs. scooped flour, for example), so gram estimates are approximate — for baking precision, a kitchen scale is best.
