Your Essential Kitchen Companion

This Cooking Conversion Calculator is a must-have for any home cook or baker. It quickly converts between common kitchen volume measurements like cups, tablespoons, teaspoons, and fluid ounces. It also provides an estimated conversion to grams, which is useful for recipes that use weight instead of volume.

The Conversion Formulas Explained

The calculator uses standard US customary volume conversions:

  • 1 Cup = 16 Tablespoons
  • 1 Tablespoon = 3 Teaspoons
  • 1 Cup = 8 Fluid Ounces

How to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter Value: Input the number you want to convert.
  2. Select 'From' Unit: Choose the starting unit (e.g., Cups).
  3. Select 'To' Unit: Choose the target unit (e.g., Tablespoons). The converted result will appear instantly.

Real-World Example

A recipe calls for 0.75 cups of sugar, but you only have a tablespoon measure.

  • Enter 0.75 in the 'From' field.
  • Select Cups as the 'From' unit.
  • Select Tablespoons as the 'To' unit.
  • The calculator will show the result: 12 tablespoons.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

  • Why is the conversion to grams an estimate? Converting from volume (like cups) to weight (like grams) depends on the ingredient's density. A cup of lead weighs much more than a cup of feathers. The calculator uses a general approximation for common dry goods like flour or sugar, but for precise baking, using a kitchen scale is always best.
  • Are these US or Imperial units? These conversions are based on US customary units. For example, a US fluid ounce is slightly larger than a UK (Imperial) fluid ounce.
  • What's the difference between a tablespoon and a teaspoon? A tablespoon is a larger unit of measurement. There are exactly 3 teaspoons in 1 tablespoon.
