Measurement converter

Convert grams to cups, spoons, ounces or pounds, using each ingredient’s density, and get the oven temperature right.

Weight and volume

To convert between grams and spoons or cups, choose the ingredient: each one weighs differently.

Weight

Volume

For dry ingredients (flour, sugar…) the weight of a cup varies with how you fill it, sifted or packed, up to ±10%. For full accuracy, use scales.

Oven

Fan ovens cook faster: lower by about 20 °C. The gas scale is the British one (Gas Mark 1 to 9).
