FAQ

These are US customary volume units. A US cup is 236.59 ml. Note that UK/imperial cups (284 ml) and Australian cups (250 ml) differ slightly from US cups.
This converter handles volume only. For precise baking with dry ingredients (flour, sugar), use the Kitchen Scale Converter to work in weight (grams/ounces) instead, since volume measurement of dry goods varies by how tightly packed they are.

Pro Tip

1 cup = 16 tablespoons = 48 teaspoons. This ratio is the most useful conversion to memorize in the kitchen.
