Cooking Measurement Converter

The Cooking Measurement Converter translates recipe volumes between the units you actually meet in the kitchen: millilitres and litres, teaspoons and tablespoons, cups, fluid ounces, pints, quarts and gallons.

Enter an amount, choose what you have and what you want, and the converted figure appears as you type.

Recipes are a minefield of mismatched units.

A recipe from the US lists cups and sticks; a European one uses millilitres and grams; an old British book uses imperial pints that are larger than American ones.

This tool standardises on US customary measures, which are by far the most common in online recipes, and documents exactly what they mean: a tablespoon is three teaspoons, a cup is the US legal 240 ml used on nutrition labels, and a fluid ounce is about 29.6 ml.

Knowing the exact basis matters, because a US pint and a UK pint differ by nearly 100 ml — enough to ruin a delicate bake if you guess.

By converting everything through millilitres internally, even an awkward request like quarts to teaspoons comes out right.

It is the fastest way to scale a recipe, halve a quantity, or follow instructions written for a measuring set you do not own.

The calculation runs entirely in your browser, so nothing is uploaded and it works offline — handy when your hands are floury and you just need a number.
