About This Cooking Unit Converter
This converter handles all common cooking units — weight units (grams, kilograms, ounces, pounds) and volume units (millilitres, litres, cups, tablespoons, teaspoons). It uses standard conversion factors: 1 cup = 240 ml, 1 tbsp = 15 ml, 1 tsp = 5 ml, 1 oz = 28.3495 g, 1 lb = 453.592 g.
For volume conversions, the tool assumes the density of water (1 g/ml). For ingredient‑specific conversions (e.g., flour, sugar), use the Recipe Converter or Baking Conversion Calculator.
