Convert between kitchen volume and weight units. For volume ↔ weight, choose an ingredient.
Note: Volume ↔ weight uses typical kitchen densities (per 1 US cup). Real-world results vary by brand, packing, humidity, and measurement style.
| Unit | Equals |
|---|---|
| 1 tbsp | 3 tsp |
| 1 cup | 16 tbsp · 48 tsp |
| 1 cup | 8 fl oz (US) |
| 1 cup | 236.588 ml |
| 1 fl oz (US) | 29.574 ml |
| 1 liter | 1000 ml · ~4.227 cups |
| Unit | Equals |
|---|---|
| 1 oz | 28.3495 g |
| 1 lb | 453.592 g · 16 oz |
| 1 kg | 1000 g · 2.20462 lb |
| Ingredient | g per cup | g per tbsp |

Use these to estimate volume ↔ weight. Example: for flour, 0.5 cup ≈ 60 g.
| Volume | ≈ Grams |

Baking requires precise measurements — small errors can affect texture, rise, and flavor. Here are standard conversions:
1 cup all-purpose flour = 120 g
1 cup packed brown sugar = 220 g
1 cup butter = 227 g
1 cup cocoa powder = 85 g
1 tbsp butter = 14 g
👉 Always use the scoop-and-level method for flour and dry ingredients.
Sometimes recipes list grams while your kitchen scale or recipe is in ounces. Here are quick equivalents:
1 g = 0.035 oz
10 g = 0.35 oz
100 g = 3.5 oz
500 g = 17.6 oz
1000 g (1 kg) = 35.27 oz = 2.2 lb
