Cooking Conversion Calculator Guide
A cooking conversion calculator helps you switch between US customary and metric kitchen measurements so you can follow any recipe regardless of where it originated. Whether you are scaling a recipe up or down, following a European baking guide, or simply substituting measuring tools, this calculator handles all the math instantly.
Liquid Measure Conversions
Liquid measure conversions are the most common need in the kitchen. US liquid units follow a doubling pattern: 3 teaspoons make 1 tablespoon, 2 tablespoons make 1 fluid ounce, 8 fluid ounces make 1 cup, 2 cups make 1 pint, 2 pints make 1 quart, and 4 quarts make 1 gallon. Metric equivalent: 1 US cup equals 236.588 milliliters.
Dry Measure Conversions
Dry measure conversions use the same volumetric units as liquid measures (teaspoons, tablespoons, cups) but are not interchangeable with fluid ounces. A dry cup and a liquid cup hold the same volume, but a dry ounce is a unit of weight while a fluid ounce is a unit of volume.
Weight Conversions for Cooking
Weight conversions are especially important in baking. Professional recipes often specify ingredients in grams because weighing flour, sugar, and butter is more precise than measuring by volume. One ounce equals 28.3495 grams, and one pound equals 453.592 grams.
Common Kitchen Measurement Equivalents
Common kitchen measurement equivalents help you work with recipes that use different unit systems. These are the most frequently needed conversions:
- 1 tablespoon = 3 teaspoons = 14.787 milliliters
- 1 cup = 16 tablespoons = 8 fluid ounces = 236.588 mL
- 1 pint = 2 cups = 16 fluid ounces = 473.176 mL
- 1 quart = 4 cups = 2 pints = 946.353 mL
- 1 gallon = 16 cups = 4 quarts = 3.785 liters
- 1 ounce (weight) = 28.3495 grams
- 1 pound = 16 ounces = 453.592 grams
Oven Temperature Guide
Oven temperature conversions follow the formula C = (F minus 32) multiplied by 5/9. A moderate 350°F oven is 176.7°C or Gas Mark 4. A hot 400°F oven is 204.4°C. When a recipe says “Gas Mark,” multiply the gas mark number by 25 and add 121 to get the approximate Celsius temperature.
