Kitchen Conversion Charts & Calculators
Choose a kitchen conversion tool by what the recipe measures: volume, ingredient weight, small spoons, oven temperature, or a larger batch of liquid. Each calculator keeps the units distinct so a cup of flour is not accidentally treated like a cup of water.

Volume and weight are not interchangeable
Use cups and milliliters when a recipe describes volume. Switch to grams or ounces when it describes weight. The difference matters most in baking: a cup of all-purpose flour is often near 125 grams, while a cup of granulated sugar is closer to 200 grams. For an ingredient-specific answer, start with the cups to grams converter.
For a recipe written in cups, begin with the cups to mL chart and choose the US 240 mL or metric 250 mL standard stated by the recipe.
Kitchen conversion FAQ
- How many mL are in one US cup?
- One US recipe cup is 240 mL. A metric cup is 250 mL, so check which standard the recipe uses before baking a precise recipe.
- Can I convert cups directly to grams?
- Not without naming the ingredient. Cups measure volume and grams measure weight, so one cup of flour and one cup of sugar have different gram weights.
- What is 180°C in Fahrenheit?
- 180°C is 356°F, commonly rounded to 350°F on a conventional oven dial. Use the temperature converter when the recipe needs a more precise setting.
