Why Ingredient Matters

A cup is a volume measurement, not a weight. The actual weight depends entirely on what you're measuring. 1 cup of all-purpose flour weighs 125 grams, but 1 cup of honey weighs 340 grams, nearly three times as much. That's why recipe conversions need to account for the specific ingredient, not just the unit.

CookingConvert provides density-based conversions for 104+ ingredients across 12 units including cups, tablespoons, teaspoons, grams, ounces, and more.

What CookingConvert Does

Frequently Asked Questions

Different ingredients have different densities. 1 cup of flour weighs 125g, but 1 cup of honey weighs 340g. Volume-to-weight conversions must account for the specific ingredient being measured.
Our conversions use standardized density data from established culinary and food science sources. Flour weights assume the spoon-and-level method unless noted. Actual weights may vary slightly based on brand, humidity, and measurement technique.
Spoon the ingredient into the measuring cup, then level off the top with a straight edge. This is the standard method used by most baking references and produces consistent results.
Yes. All conversions show results for US, Metric, and Imperial standards side by side. A US cup is 236.6 ml, a Metric cup (used in Australia and New Zealand) is 250 ml, and an Imperial cup (older British recipes) is 284 ml. The same applies to tablespoons, teaspoons, fluid ounces, pints, quarts, and gallons.
