Frequently Asked Questions - Cooking Measurement Converter
Our conversions use standard US cooking measurements and are accurate to within 1-2%. Different ingredients have varying densities, so we include ingredient-specific calculations for flour, sugar, butter, and other common ingredients. For best results, use the ingredient type selector for weight conversions.
Fluid ounces measure volume (space), while weight ounces measure mass. 1 fluid ounce of water weighs about 1 ounce, but this varies with different ingredients. For example, 1 fl oz of honey weighs about 1.5 oz, while 1 fl oz of oil weighs about 0.9 oz.
Use the recipe scaling feature to multiply all ingredients by the same factor. Remember that cooking times may need adjustment: increase by 15-20% for larger batches, decrease by 10-15% for smaller ones. Pan sizes may also need changing - double the recipe may require a larger pan or longer cooking time.
Yes! Our converter handles both metric (ml, grams, liters) and imperial (cups, tablespoons, ounces, pounds) measurements. This is especially helpful when using international recipes or when your measuring tools use different systems.
Ingredients have different densities. For example, 1 cup of flour weighs about 120g, while 1 cup of sugar weighs about 200g. Our converter accounts for these differences to provide accurate weight-to-volume conversions for common cooking ingredients.
