Cooking from English or American recipes requires knowledge of kitchen measurements: cup, tablespoon, teaspoon, fluid ounce, pint. They differ between the US, UK and Australia. The tool converts all kitchen measurements both ways.
Basic conversion rates
1 tablespoon (US tablespoon) = 14.79 ml = 3 teaspoons (tsp). 1 cup (US cup) = 236.6 ml = 16 tablespoons. 1 fl oz (US) = 29.57 ml. 1 pint (US) = 473 ml = 2 cups. 1 quart (US) = 946 ml = 4 cups. US vs UK difference: 1 cup UK = 284 ml (old imperial cup), 250 ml (metric cup AU/NZ).
Kitchen measurement systems
USA: cups, tablespoons (tbsp), teaspoons (tsp), fluid ounces, pints, quarts, gallons. UK Imperial: fluid ounces, pints (568 ml!), gills. Metric (Europe): ml, dl, l. Australian: 1 cup = 250 ml, 1 tbsp = 20 ml (not 15!). Japanese: 1 合 (go) = 180 ml (rice scoop).
Differences US vs UK vs AU
Tablespoon: US = 14.79 ml, UK = 17.76 ml, AU = 20 ml. Glass (cup): US = 237 ml, UK old = 284 ml, UK metric = 250 ml, AU = 250 ml. Pint: US = 473 ml, UK = 568 ml. Teaspoon: US = 4.93 ml, UK = 3.55 ml (historical). An English recipe may give different results in the US!
Measurements and weights – conversion
Water: 1 ml = 1 g (facilitates conversions). Flour: 1 cup US ≈ 120-130 g (depends on whipping). Sugar: 1 cup ≈ 200 g. Butter: 1 cup = 227 g, 1 tbsp = 14.2 g. Honey: 1 cup ≈ 340 g (thick). Chocolate chips: 1 cup ≈ 170 g. Weight is more accurate for baking - a tablespoon of flour may vary by 30%.
FAQ
Why does America use cups instead of grams?
Historically: US measurements are derived from English imperial measurements (before UK metricalization). Practical: kitchen cups and spoons are available in every home - no scales needed. Culture: Recipes passed down through generations use cups. Disadvantage: imprecise for baking (packed vs loose flour).
How to accurately measure 1 cup of flour?
Dip-and-sweep method (US standard): dip measuring cup in flour, smooth edges. Spoon-and-level method: pour a spoon into the measuring cup and level. Difference: up to 30g! For baking: weighing is much more accurate. European regulations provide for gramming.
What is "heaped" and "level" tablespoon?
Level: tip aligned with the edge of the ruler. Heaped: with excess. Rounded: slight excess. Most US regulations: level (leveled). UK: sometimes heaped. Difference: level 1 tbsp flour ≈ 8g, heaped ≈ 15g.
How to convert Japanese kitchen measurements?
1 合 (gō) = 180 ml. 1 升 (shō) = 1800 ml = 10 合. 1勺 (shaku) = 18 ml. Japanese glass: 200 ml (not 240 like US). Japanese Tablespoon: 15ml (=US). Teaspoon: 5ml (=US). The most important differences in Japanese cooking: cup = 200ml, not 237ml.
How to remember cup conversions?
1 cup = 16 tablespoons = 48 teaspoons. "Four quarts, two pints, four cups per quart" (US). For ml: 1 cup ≈ 240ml (easy to remember). Precisely: 236.6 ml. The difference is negligible for cooking (not for baking).
