Important Disclaimer

While we strive for accuracy, cooking measurements can vary based on factors like ingredient density, packing method, and altitude. For best results in baking, we recommend using a kitchen scale for precise weight measurements. Our conversions are based on standard ingredient densities and may require adjustment based on your specific ingredients and recipes. Always use your judgment and taste test when cooking!

Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate are these cooking measurement conversions?

Our conversions are based on internationally recognized measurement standards. Volume conversions (like cups to ml) are precise, while volume-to-weight conversions use standard ingredient densities. For baking, we recommend weighing ingredients with a kitchen scale for the most accurate results.

Why do different ingredients have different cup-to-gram conversions?

Ingredients have different densities! 1 cup of flour (120g) weighs much less than 1 cup of sugar (200g) because flour is lighter and fluffier. Our Ingredient Converter accounts for these differences to give you accurate weight conversions for over 60 common cooking ingredients.

Is 1 US cup the same as 1 UK cup?

No! 1 US cup = 236.59 ml, while 1 UK cup (imperial cup) = 284.13 ml. This site uses US cup measurements by default, which are standard in most American recipes. Always check which measurement system your recipe uses.

Can I use this converter offline?

Yes! CookConvert works entirely in your browser. Once you've loaded the page, all conversions happen locally on your device. Your conversion history is also stored locally using IndexedDB, so your data stays private and accessible even offline.

What's the difference between "1/2 cup" and "0.5 cups"?

They're the same measurement! We display results as fractions (like "1/2 cup" or "1 1/4 cups") because that's how most measuring cups are marked and easier to use when cooking. You can still enter decimal values like "0.5" in the input field.

How do I convert oven temperatures for international recipes?

Use our Temperature converter! American recipes typically use Fahrenheit (e.g., 350°F), while European recipes use Celsius (e.g., 180°C). The conversion formula is: °F = (°C × 9/5) + 32. Our tool does this instantly, and many conversion pages also include Gas Mark equivalents for UK ovens.
