What to expect
How it works
Volume and mass values pass through a base unit—milliliters or grams—using fixed conversion factors. Temperature uses the appropriate Celsius, Fahrenheit, or kelvin formula rather than a simple multiplier. Source and target choices are restricted to the same measurement category.
Know before using
Limits and edge cases
- It cannot convert volume to mass because that requires an ingredient's density; a cup of flour and a cup of water do not have the same mass.
- Cup, spoon, fluid-ounce, pint, and quart factors are US customary liquid measures, not metric, Imperial, or ingredient-specific kitchen measures.

Cooking unit converter FAQ
Is cooking unit converter free to use?

Does cooking unit converter keep my work private?
Yes. Your work stays private while you use the tool — nothing you enter is uploaded.
Why can I not convert cups directly to grams?
Cups measure volume and grams measure mass. A reliable conversion needs the density of the exact ingredient and often its preparation method.
Which cup definition does the tool use?
It uses the US customary liquid cup: 236.5882365 milliliters. It is not the 250 mL metric cup or the older Imperial cup.
