Convert between cups, tablespoons, teaspoons, ml, and more for cooking and baking.
Cooking measurement conversion is the process of translating between volume units like cups, tablespoons, teaspoons, and milliliters used in recipes across different measurement systems.
| Ingredient | 1 cup | 1 tbsp |
|---|---|---|
| All-purpose flour | 120g | 8g |
| Granulated sugar | 200g | 12g |
| Brown sugar (packed) | 220g | 14g |
| Butter | 227g | 14g |
| Honey / Syrup | 340g | 21g |
| Water / Milk | 237g | 15g |
Formula
Converted Value = Input Amount × Conversion FactorConversion Factor = ratio between units (e.g., 1 cup = 16 tbsp = 48 tsp = 236.588 ml)

Did you know? The US teaspoon (4.93 ml) differs from the UK teaspoon (5.92 ml) — a small gap that can meaningfully affect spice quantities in large batch cooking.
