Follow a US recipe without measuring cups

English-language recipes measure in cups and spoons; ours in grams. Since a cup’s weight depends on the ingredient, this tool applies the right density to give you reliable grams.

  1. Choose the ingredient

    Flour, sugar, butter, honey… each has its density.

  2. Enter the amount

    With its unit: cup, spoon, oz, ml or g.

  3. Read g and ml

    Plus the equivalent in cups and spoons.

A cup’s weight by ingredient

Ingredient1 cup ≈
Water237 g
Flour125 g
Sugar200 g
Butter227 g
Honey340 g

Bases: 1 cup = 236.6 ml, 1 tbsp = 14.8 ml. Average values; packing changes the real weight.

Frequently asked questions

Why do I need to choose the ingredient?

Because the volume → weight conversion depends on density. 1 cup (≈ 237 ml) of flour weighs about 125 g, but 1 cup of sugar about 200 g and 1 cup of honey nearly 340 g. Without the ingredient, converting cups to grams is meaningless.

How much is a “cup” exactly?

The standard US cup is 236.6 ml. The tablespoon is 14.8 ml and the teaspoon 4.93 ml. Beware: the metric cup (250 ml) and the UK cup differ slightly.

Fluid ounce or weight ounce?

They are two different things. The fluid ounce (fl oz ≈ 29.57 ml) measures volume; the weight ounce (oz ≈ 28.35 g) measures mass. This tool distinguishes them: pick the unit that matches your recipe.

Are the values accurate to the gram?

They are good averages: real density varies with packing (sifted flour or not, brown sugar more or less compacted). For precision baking a scale is still ideal; these conversions get you close.
