Here you’ll find cooking and baking conversions for common ingredients from grams to US cups and ounces.
Please note that 1 US cup = 240 ml whereas 1 European/AU cup is = 250ml !
I measured all the amounts in grams myself, then converted the grams to ounces using google converter.
I learned the US way of measuring ingredients as most of my audience is located in the US, but I always cook and bake using a scale as I find it much simpler and quicker. Cooking using measuring cups usually makes no problems but baking is very inaccurate. It is best to use a scale for great and consistent results.
1 US cup = 240 ml
1 cup = 16 tablespoons = 8 fluid ounces
1 tablespoon = 15 ml
1 teaspoon = 5 ml

Very important: There are different methods of measuring flour! Many websites specify completely different flour weights! It can differ from 120g to 150g per cup of flour. If a recipe calls for a couple of cups of flour, imagine how big of a difference this can make! That why I prefer to use a scale (it’s cheap, easy to make, and far quicker than using measuring cups). 1 cup of all-purpose flour in all my recipes weigh 125g.
The most important when measuring flour using measuring cups: don’t compact the flour in the cup.
How to correctly measure flour:
- Fluff the flour by stirring it in the bag/flour container with a spoon.
- Spoon the flour and sprinkle it into your measuring cup.
- Sweep off the excess flour with the back of a knife.
