Frequently Asked Questions

Why can’t you convert grams directly to cups without selecting an ingredient? ▾

Grams measure mass (weight) while cups measure volume (space). Because every kitchen ingredient has a different bulk density, 1 US Customary Cup (236.6 mL) of rolled oats weighs 90g, spooned all-purpose flour weighs 120g, granulated sugar weighs 200g, and honey weighs 340g.

What is the difference between a US Cup and a Metric/Australian Cup? ▾

A standard US Customary baking cup holds 236.588 mL (8 US fl oz / 16 tbsp). An Australian, New Zealand, Canadian, and Metric baking cup holds 250 mL — roughly 5.7% larger. Our converter supports US Customary (236.6 mL), US FDA Nutrition (240 mL), Metric (250 mL), and UK Imperial (284.1 mL) cups.

Why does 1 cup of all-purpose flour weigh 120g here when some charts say 140g? ▾

120g per cup reflects the test-kitchen "spoon-and-level" standard used by King Arthur Baking and professional pastry chefs. Dipping a dry measuring cup straight into the flour bag compacts the flour to ~142g per cup. Toggle between Spooned, Scooped, and Sifted right inside our calculator.
