How to use it

  1. Enter weight.
  2. The result appears straight away and updates as you edit.
  3. Copy the result, or copy a link that keeps the same values to share it.

How it is calculated

cups = grams ÷ 120. tbsp = cups × 16, tsp = cups × 48, metric cups = cups × 236.59 ÷ 250. The kitchen measure is rounded to the nearest 1/4 tsp.

Example

Inputs: Weight = 250 g. Result: US cups: 2.08 cups; Tablespoons: 33.3 tbsp; Teaspoons: 100 tsp.

Limits and caveats

  • The weight assumes spoon and level; dipping the cup into the bag packs the flour and weighs more.
  • The kitchen measure is rounded to the nearest 1/4 tsp, and chart figures to the gram.
  • Metric cup (250 mL) and spoon values are scaled by volume from the 236.59 mL US cup figure.
