What is Cooking Converter?
The Cooking Converter instantly converts between cups, grams, milliliters, tablespoons, and teaspoons — the most common kitchen measurements. This is essential for following recipes from different countries (US recipes use cups, European recipes use grams).
Important: cup measurements are volume-based, but gram measurements are weight-based. 1 cup of flour (125g) weighs very differently from 1 cup of sugar (200g) or 1 cup of butter (227g). This converter accounts for ingredient density.
For baking accuracy, using a kitchen scale (grams) is always more precise than measuring cups. A cup of flour can vary by 30% depending on how you scoop it.
