About This Cooking Measurement Converter
This free cooking measurement converter helps you quickly convert between common kitchen units. Whether you're scaling a recipe, converting a European recipe to US measurements, or just need to know how many tablespoons are in a cup, this tool has you covered.
Volume vs. Weight in Baking
Professional bakers prefer weight measurements (grams) over volume measurements (cups) because they are more accurate. A cup of flour can vary by 20-30% depending on how it's scooped. For consistent baking results, use the ingredient converter tab to translate cup measurements into precise gram weights.
Tips for Accurate Measuring
- Flour: Spoon into the measuring cup and level with a knife. Never scoop directly from the bag.
- Brown sugar: Pack firmly into the measuring cup so it holds its shape when turned out.
- Liquids: Use a liquid measuring cup (glass or plastic with a pour spout) placed on a flat surface.
- Butter: Use the measurement markings on the wrapper, or remember that 1 stick = 1/2 cup = 8 tablespoons.
