Cooking conversions for common ingredients (grams to US cups and oz)

13 February 2021 | Last Updated: 17 June 2021 By Aleksandra

Here you’ll find cooking and baking conversions for common ingredients from grams to US cups and ounces.

Please note that 1 US cup = 240 ml whereas 1 European/AU cup is = 250ml !

I measured all the amounts in grams myself, then converted the grams to ounces using google converter.

I learned the US way of measuring ingredients as most of my audience is located in the US, but I always cook and bake using a scale as I find it much simpler and quicker. Cooking using measuring cups usually makes no problems but baking is very inaccurate. It is best to use a scale for great and consistent results.

1 US cup = 240 ml

1 cup = 16 tablespoons = 8 fluid ounces

1 tablespoon = 15 ml

1 teaspoon = 5 ml

To quickly find if I have an ingredient you’re looking for:

  • If you’re on mobile (chrome): click 3 dots in the upper right corner of your browser, click ‘search on this website’, type in your ingredient, and click enter.
  • If you’re on mobile (safari): tap the Smart Search bar, then type in the ingredient and click enter.
  • If you’re on desktop: click CTRL+F on your keyboard, then type in the ingredient and click enter.

Very important: There are different methods of measuring flour! Many websites specify completely different flour weights! It can differ from 120g to 150g per cup of flour. If a recipe calls for a couple of cups of flour, imagine how big of a difference this can make! That why I prefer to use a scale (it’s cheap, easy to make, and far quicker than using measuring cups). 1 cup of all-purpose flour in all my recipes weigh 125g.

The most important when measuring flour using measuring cups: don’t compact the flour in the cup.

How to correctly measure flour:

  1. Fluff the flour by stirring it in the bag/flour container with a spoon.
  2. Spoon the flour and sprinkle it into your measuring cup.
  3. Sweep off the excess flour with the back of a knife.
