Frequently Asked Questions

1 US cup = 16 tablespoons = 48 teaspoons = 8 fluid ounces = 236.6 milliliters.

Weight-to-volume conversions assume water density (1 mL = 1 g). Different ingredients have different densities — flour is lighter (~0.53 g/mL) and sugar is heavier (~0.85 g/mL). Use ingredient-specific charts for precise baking measurements.

This converter uses US customary measurements. UK Imperial cups and pints are slightly different — a UK pint is 568 mL vs 473 mL for a US pint.
