About Cooking Measurement Conversion
Cooking measurement conversion is one of the most common daily needs, especially when following recipes from different countries. American recipes typically use volume measurements (cups, tablespoons, teaspoons), while European and professional recipes often use metric measurements (milliliters, grams). Accurately converting between these systems is key to successful cooking and baking.
Standard US cooking measurements follow a logical hierarchy: 3 teaspoons make 1 tablespoon, 16 tablespoons make 1 cup, 2 cups make 1 pint, 2 pints make 1 quart, and 4 quarts make 1 gallon. One US cup equals approximately 236.6 mL, which is slightly different from the metric cup (250 mL) used in Australia and some other countries.
For baking, where precision matters most, many professional bakers recommend measuring by weight rather than volume. However, when volume measurements are all you have, this converter ensures you get the right proportions every time.
