What is it?
The Cooking Measurement Converter turns cups, tablespoons, teaspoons, mL and fluid ounces into grams, and back, for everyday ingredients like flour (maida), atta, besan, sugar, butter, rice, milk and oil.
Who is it for?
Home cooks and bakers following international recipes, home bakers selling cakes, and anyone without a kitchen scale.
How to use it
- Pick the ingredient.
- Type the amount and choose the unit (cups, spoons, mL, grams…).
- Read the amount in every other unit.
Why ingredients differ
A cup measures volume, not weight. A cup of water weighs about 237 g, a cup of maida about 125 g and a cup of sugar about 200 g, because flour is light and airy and sugar is dense.
Measuring accurately
- For flour, spoon it into the cup and level the top with a knife. Scooping straight from the bag packs it, adding 20–30% more.
- Brown sugar is measured packed; powdered sugar loose.
- A kitchen scale is the most accurate, especially for baking.
Which cup?
This tool uses the US cup (236.6 mL), which most online recipes use. A metric cup (Australia, India’s measuring sets) is 250 mL, about 6% more. For a single cake the difference is small; for large batches, check your recipe’s source.
Errors and how to fix them
- Grams don’t match my scale: packing differs; spoon flour lightly and level it.
- Ingredient not listed: choose the closest one (e.g. maida for similar flours), or weigh it once and note it.
