Kitchen Measurement Conversion Chart
Accurate kitchen measurements are the foundation of consistent cooking and baking. Whether you are working from a recipe that uses metric units while your measuring tools are imperial, or vice versa, having a reliable conversion tool saves time and prevents mistakes. Our kitchen unit converter handles all common cooking measurements: cups, tablespoons, teaspoons, fluid ounces, milliliters, liters, gallons, quarts, pints, ounces, pounds, grams, kilograms, Fahrenheit, and Celsius.
Volume conversions are the most common need in everyday cooking. Remember that volume and weight are not interchangeable — a cup of flour weighs much less than a cup of sugar. For the most accurate results in baking, consider using weight measurements (grams or ounces) rather than volume. Our converter gives you precise values so you can measure with confidence.
How to Scale Recipes Up or Down
Scaling a recipe is straightforward in theory — multiply every ingredient by the same factor — but it is easy to make mistakes when doing it by hand, especially with fractions. Our recipe scaler does the math for you. Enter the original number of servings your recipe makes, the number of servings you want, and all your ingredient quantities. The tool instantly calculates the scaled amounts.
Keep in mind that some things do not scale linearly. Cooking times, leavening agents (baking powder and baking soda), salt, and spices may need adjustment beyond a simple multiplier. As a general guideline, when doubling a recipe you can double most ingredients directly, but increase salt and seasonings by about 1.5 times and taste as you go. Baking times may also need to be extended slightly for larger volumes.
Common Cooking Conversions
The most frequently needed kitchen conversions are tablespoons to cups (16 tablespoons = 1 cup), teaspoons to tablespoons (3 teaspoons = 1 tablespoon), and cups to milliliters (1 cup = 236.59 mL). For weight, the key conversions are ounces to grams (1 oz = 28.35 g) and pounds to grams (1 lb = 453.59 g). For oven temperatures, the formula is °C = (°F − 32) × 5/9, but the reference table above gives you the most common baking temperatures at a glance.
