💡 How It Works

  • In cooking, 1 US cup equals 240ml.
  • 1 tablespoon (tbsp) is 15ml, 1 teaspoon (tsp) is 5ml.
  • The same 1 cup weighs differently for each ingredient: flour 120g, sugar 200g, butter 227g.
  • Volume-to-weight conversion considers ingredient density.
  • For accurate baking, using weight measurements (grams) is recommended.

FAQ

A. A US cup is 240ml, while metric cups (used in Australia) are 250ml. This calculator uses US cups (240ml).

Q. Can I use volume instead of weight in recipes?

A. For regular cooking, yes. But for baking where precision matters, using weight (grams) is recommended.

Q. How much is 1 stick of butter?

A. 1 US stick of butter is about 113g (1/2 cup). 2 sticks equal 1 cup (227g).
