About This Calculator
US recipes use volume measurements (cups, tablespoons, teaspoons) while most of the world uses weight (grams). Weight measurements are more accurate for baking — 1 cup of flour can weigh anywhere from 120 to 150 grams depending on how it's scooped.
Quick reference
- 3 teaspoons = 1 tablespoon
- 16 tablespoons = 1 cup
- 1 cup = 8 fluid ounces = 236 ml
- 1 pound = 16 ounces = 453.6 grams
Frequently asked questions
What does this cooking conversion calculator do?
The cooking conversion calculator converts between volume units (teaspoons, tablespoons, cups, milliliters, liters), weight units (ounces, pounds, grams, kilograms), and oven temperatures (°F, °C) used in recipes.
Why convert cups to grams for baking?
Volume is imprecise — a cup of flour can weigh 120 to 150 grams depending on how it is scooped. Weighing ingredients gives far more consistent baking results.
How many teaspoons are in a tablespoon?
There are 3 teaspoons in 1 tablespoon and 16 tablespoons in 1 cup. This converter handles all of those relationships instantly.
