Use this page as a reference for converting between US cups, grams, ounces, pounds, tablespoons and teaspoons. Measuring ingredients by weight (grams or ounces) rather than volume (cups or tablespoons) will often provide more accurate measurements.
The following are approximations for flour. Cup measurements assume that your flour is spooned into the cup. If you use the 'dip and sweep' method, consider
increasing your gram, ounce or pound figure by 15-20%. If you sieve before measuring, reduce the figure by around 5%. Spoon approximations are based on a flat spoon, not heaped. You may wish to know that we have
an article dedicated to how many cups of flour there are in a pound.
Sugar and sweeteners (cups, grams, ounces, tablespoons)
The following are approximations for sugar and sweeteners. Cup measurements assume that your ingredient is spooned into the cup. Spoon approximations are based on a flat spoon, not heaped. We also have
an article looking at how many cups of sugar there are in a pound.
Fats and liquids (cups, grams, ounces, tablespoons)
The following are approximations for fats and liquids. Cup measurements assume that your ingredient is spooned into the cup. Spoon approximations are based on a flat spoon, not heaped.
The following ingredient conversions are approximate. Cup measurements assume that your ingredient is spooned into the cup. Spoon approximations are based on a flat spoon, not heaped.
Please note that the measurements supplied on this page are approximations. The weight of cups and spoons of ingredients can vary based upon the cup used and how the ingredient is packed into the cup.
