Frequently Asked Questions about the Cooking Conversion Calculator
How many tablespoons are in a cup?
1 US cup equals 16 tablespoons, 48 teaspoons, or 8 fluid ounces. In milliliters, 1 cup is about 236.6 ml. These are US customary units, not the metric or imperial cup.
Why does flour weight matter more than volume?
Volume varies with how packed the flour is. One scooped cup can weigh 140 grams, a sifted cup only 110 grams. King Arthur Baking pegs all-purpose flour at 125 grams per cup, which this calculator uses as the reference.
How do I convert grams to cups for baking?
Divide the gram amount by the ingredient's grams per cup. Example: 250 grams of sugar at 200 grams per cup equals 1.25 cups. Each ingredient has its own density, so use a reference table.
Is a US cup the same as a metric cup?
No. A US cup is 236.6 ml, a metric cup (used in Australia and many cookbooks) is exactly 250 ml, and an imperial cup (rare today) is about 284 ml. This calculator uses US customary units.
How many ounces are in a pint?
A US pint holds 16 fluid ounces, 2 cups, or about 473 ml. A US quart is 32 fluid ounces or 2 pints. UK pints are larger at 20 fluid ounces (568 ml), so check the recipe origin.
