Kitchen measure converter
Convert volumes to weight for perfect recipes
❓ How the converter works
The kitchen converter translates recipe measures — cups, spoons, grams and milliliters — using ingredient density. One cup of flour and one cup of water weigh differently, and the calculator accounts for that.
Supported ingredients: water, milk, flour, sugar, oil, salt and rice. A cup is taken as 250 ml.
📏 Units of measure
250 ml — standard measuring cup in recipes
≈ 15–18 ml; weight depends on ingredient
≈ 5–10 ml; used for spices and leavening
Conversion via density: ml × density = g
📋 Reference table (1 cup = 250 ml)
| Ingredient | Weight (g) | Tbsp (g) |
|---|---|---|
| Water | 250 | 18 |
| Milk | 250 | 18 |
| Wheat flour | 160 | 25 |
| Sugar | 200 | 25 |
| Vegetable oil | 225 | 17 |
| Salt | 320 | 30 |
| Rice | 210 | 25 |
💡 Example
Recipe calls for 2 cups of flour.
1 cup of flour = 160 g → 2 cups = 320 g ≈ 500 ml ≈ 12.8 tbsp.
For comparison: 2 cups of water = 500 g = 500 ml.
✅ Tips
- Sift flour and sugar and do not pack them — cup weight can vary by 10–15%.
- «Heaped» and «level» cups differ — use the table as an average reference.
- For precise baking, use a kitchen scale; the converter is for quick recipe substitutions.
