Cooking Measurement Converter
Convert cups, tablespoons, teaspoons, milliliters, and grams for everyday recipe adaptation.
How to use this result
Volume conversions are consistent: 1 tbsp = 3 tsp, 1 US cup = 240 ml, 1 fl oz ≈ 30 ml. The tool uses these standard equivalences.
Korean recipes often assume the 200 ml 계량컵 cup, while US recipes assume 240 ml. Translating cups between the two without noting which standard is in use can shift quantities by 20%.
Volume-to-weight conversions depend on ingredient density and packing: a cup of sifted flour, packed flour, sugar, and rice all weigh differently. Treat gram values as estimates and trust a kitchen scale for baking ratios that matter.
Examples
US cup
Korean cup (계량컵)
Spoons
Flour by weight
Common questions
Q.Why does flour weigh differently than sugar at the same volume?
Density and packing differ. Sifted flour traps air, packed brown sugar compresses, and grains pack tightly. Same volume, different mass.
Q.Korean cup or US cup?
If the recipe is Korean, assume 200 ml per cup. If the recipe is US, assume 240 ml. The tool exposes both so the conversion is explicit.
Before using Cooking Units
When it helps
Cooking Units is useful when Korea-specific living tasks such as units, area, sizing, and everyday local standards need quick comparison. It is designed for situations like turning 1 cup into 240 ml without leaving the browser workflow.
Suggested workflow
The basic workflow is simple: enter Measurement, adjust options when needed, and review Converted amount. Before relying on the result, check the units, date, file type, rounding basis, or other assumptions that may change the outcome.
How to verify results
Cooking Units is a supporting utility for quick judgment. If the result affects contracts, filings, payments, security, customer data, or other important decisions, verify it against official sources, source systems, internal policy, or qualified review.
