Step 1: Ingredient Selection
Ingredient Density Matters
Different ingredients have different densities, which affects conversion accuracy. For example, 1 cup of flour weighs less than 1 cup of sugar. Our calculator accounts for this.
Step 2: Unit Conversion
About Measurement Systems
The US uses cups and spoons for volume measurements, while the UK and most of the world use weight (grams) for dry ingredients. UK tablespoons (17.7ml) are also larger than US tablespoons (14.8ml).
