Convert between cups, grams, tablespoons, teaspoons, ounces, and ml. Ingredient-specific conversions so flour and sugar give different gram results — not a generic unit swap.

Volume ≠ weight for most ingredients. One cup of all-purpose flour weighs about 125g when spooned and leveled, but up to 150g when scooped directly. One cup of butter is 227g, while one cup of water is 237ml (close to 237g). Generic converters that apply the same factor to every ingredient produce inaccurate results for baking.
Baking precision matters. Savory cooking is forgiving — a pinch more flour in soup doesn't matter. Baking is chemistry. Using a scale and these gram conversions instead of volume measures produces more consistent results because volume measurements vary with packing, sifting, and technique.
Gram values used are based on USDA FoodData Central and standard culinary references. Density values assume lightly spooned and leveled dry ingredients unless otherwise noted.
