Cooking Conversions Made Simple
U.S. recipes measure by volume, most of the world by weight — this tool converts both. Key volume facts: 1 cup = 16 tablespoons = 48 teaspoons = 8 fl oz ≈ 236.6 ml; 1 tablespoon = 3 teaspoons ≈ 14.8 ml. Weight: 1 oz = 28.35 g, 1 lb = 453.6 g.
Note that volume→weight depends on the ingredient: a cup of water is 236 g, but a cup of all-purpose flour is only about 120 g and a cup of sugar about 200 g. For baking accuracy, weigh when the recipe allows.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many cups is 250 ml?
About 1.06 U.S. cups (250 ÷ 236.59). For most recipes, treating 250 ml as one generous cup works fine.
How many tablespoons are in 1/4 cup?
4 tablespoons — since a cup is 16 tablespoons. Similarly, 1/3 cup ≈ 5 tbsp + 1 tsp, and 1/2 cup = 8 tbsp.
How many grams is a cup of flour?
About 120-125 g for all-purpose flour when spooned and leveled (scooping packs up to 150 g). Sugar is ~200 g/cup and butter ~227 g/cup — volume-to-weight always depends on the ingredient.
