Convert cups to grams, tablespoons, ounces and millilitres by ingredient — because a cup of flour and a cup of sugar don't weigh the same. Plus oven temperature & gas mark.
Because grams measure weight and cups measure volume, the conversion depends on the ingredient's density. Here are the most-searched cooking conversions, using the US 240 ml cup and authoritative baking weights:
| Ingredient | 1 cup | ½ cup | 1 tbsp |
|---|
Weights follow the King Arthur Baking / TheCalculatorSite standards. For the most precise baking, a kitchen scale beats any cup.
Convert between Fahrenheit, Celsius and UK gas mark — the other thing recipes never agree on:
| Fahrenheit | Celsius | Gas mark | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 275 °F | 140 °C | 1 | Very slow / cool |
| 300 °F | 150 °C | 2 | Slow |
| 325 °F | 170 °C | 3 | Moderately slow |
| 350 °F | 180 °C | 4 | Moderate (most baking) |
| 375 °F | 190 °C | 5 | Moderately hot |
| 400 °F | 200 °C | 6 | Hot |
| 425 °F | 220 °C | 7 | Hot |
| 450 °F | 230 °C | 8 | Very hot |
To convert a volume (cups, tablespoons, teaspoons, millilitres) to a weight (grams, ounces), multiply the volume in cups by the ingredient's grams-per-cup. To go the other way, divide the weight by the grams-per-cup to get cups. This converter does it automatically for every ingredient above.
1 cup = 16 tablespoons = 48 teaspoons = 240 ml. 1 tablespoon = 15 ml. 1 teaspoon = 5 ml. 1 ounce = 28.35 grams.
