Cooking Unit Converter — Cups, Tablespoons, ML, Grams (US/UK/Metric)
Type an amount, pick the source unit (cup, tablespoon, teaspoon, ml, fl oz), pick the target unit, and the page renders the converted value live underneath. The page uses US customary measurements as defaults because that's what most English-language recipes online use, but the reference table below covers the UK/Australia/metric variants too — which matters because a "cup" can be 236.59 mL (US customary), 240 mL (US legal), 250 mL (Australian/metric), or 284.13 mL (UK Imperial), and tablespoon definitions diverge similarly. Useful when adapting a recipe between metric and imperial, scaling proportionally between batches, or interpreting a recipe whose source country isn't where you're cooking.
About cooking measurements
Cooking inherits one of the messier areas of unit history. Volume measurements: 1 US customary cup = 236.5882 mL = 16 US tbsp = 48 US tsp = 8 US fl oz. 1 US tablespoon (US customary) = 14.7868 mL ≈ 0.5 fl oz; 1 US teaspoon = 4.929 mL. The Australian metric tablespoon, surprisingly, is 20 mL (not 15 mL like the US/UK), so a recipe from Australia using "1 tbsp baking soda" wants 33% more than a US recipe with the same wording. The UK Imperial cup (deprecated in modern recipes but appears in older British cookbooks) is 284.13 mL = 10 Imperial fl oz, where Imperial fl oz = 28.413 mL ≠ US fl oz (29.574 mL). Weight-versus-volume: serious baking benefits from weight measurements because flour packing density varies wildly (a "cup" of flour can weigh 120-150 g depending on how it's scooped). When precision matters use a kitchen scale and weight units; when speed matters use volume. This converter handles volume; for flour/sugar/butter specifically, search for the per-ingredient density table — common references: 1 cup all-purpose flour ≈ 125 g (sifted and spooned), 1 cup granulated sugar = 200 g, 1 cup unsalted butter = 227 g, 1 cup brown sugar (packed) = 213 g, 1 cup honey = 340 g.
