Cooking Measurement Converter
Convert between cooking measurements like cups, tablespoons, teaspoons, milliliters, and fluid ounces.
About the Cooking Measure Calculator
Recipes from different countries or older cookbooks often use different volume units — cups, tablespoons, milliliters — and converting between them accurately matters for baking especially, where ratios affect the outcome. This calculator converts between the most common cooking volume units instantly.
How It Works
The calculator converts your amount to milliliters using standard US customary volume equivalents, then converts from milliliters into your target unit, giving an accurate conversion regardless of which two units you're converting between.
Amount (ml) = Input Amount × ml-per-unit(From); Result = Amount (ml) / ml-per-unit(To). 1 cup ≈ 236.6 ml, 1 tbsp ≈ 14.79 ml, 1 tsp ≈ 4.93 ml, 1 fl oz ≈ 29.57 ml.
Example
Scenario: Converting 1 cup to tablespoons.
Result: 1 cup equals 16 tablespoons.
Assumptions & Limitations
- Uses standard US customary volume measurements — some countries define a 'cup' slightly differently (for example, the metric cup is exactly 250 ml, not 236.6 ml).
- Assumes the ingredient being measured is a liquid or has similar density-independent volume behavior; dry ingredient conversions can vary by how tightly they're packed.
- Converting between volume and weight (like cups to grams) depends on the specific ingredient's density and is not handled by this volume-only converter.
