Cooking & Baking Measurement Converter
The Cooking & Baking Measurement Converter converts between volume measures (cup, tablespoon, teaspoon, mL, liter) and weight (gram, kilogram, ounce, pound) more accurately than a generic unit converter, because it accounts for each ingredient's own density — a cup of flour doesn't weigh the same as a cup of honey. Supports 12 common cooking and baking ingredients. Also includes an oven temperature converter between Fahrenheit, Celsius, and the UK Gas Mark scale common in baking recipes. All calculations happen in your browser — no data is ever uploaded to a server.
All processing happens on your device — nothing is sent to a server.
Density values are approximate, based on common baking references — they can vary a little by measuring method (scooped vs. spooned-and-leveled), humidity, and brand.

What this tool does
Converts cooking measurements between volume and weight for specific ingredients, and converts oven temperatures between Celsius, Fahrenheit and gas marks.
When to use it
- A recipe in cups when your scale works in grams.
- A foreign recipe in Fahrenheit and an oven in Celsius.
- Converting a quantity to scale a recipe accurately.
- A recipe giving a gas mark when your oven is numeric.
How to use it
- Choose the tab: ingredients or oven.
- For ingredients: choose the "Ingredient" and the direction between volume and weight, then enter the "Amount".
- For the oven: enter the value and its unit, and read the equivalents.
A practical example
Input
One cup of all-purpose flour, volume to weight.
Output
The corresponding weight in grams for that specific ingredient.
A cup is a unit of volume, not weight: a cup of flour and a cup of sugar weigh quite differently, which is why the tool asks you to pick the ingredient rather than using one factor.
Limitations
- Volume-to-weight conversion is available for the listed ingredients only, because each has its own density.
- A cup's weight varies with how you measure — sifted flour is lighter than packed — so the result is a practical estimate rather than a laboratory measurement.
- Cup and spoon sizes differ slightly between the American, British and Australian systems.
- Gas marks are a stepped scale, and a value outside it is flagged rather than rounded.
Privacy and processing
All processing happens on your device and nothing is sent to a server.
Technical notes
- Each ingredient carries its own density in the tool's table, which is what makes volume-to-weight correct per ingredient.
