Cooking Volume Converter

Cooking Volume Converter is part of Toolspire and is ready as soon as this page loads. These are US spoon and cup sizes. A metric cup of 250 ml is a different cup. The page will not weigh flour, because grams need a density.

What you can do here

US sizes, named

A 250 ml metric cup is not used.

The spoons agree

Three teaspoons are one tablespoon on these definitions.

No grams

Weight needs a density. The density page is mass over volume, which you supply.

The sequence

How to use the Cooking Volume Converter

  1. 1

    Leave cups at 0 to check the spoons

    Two tablespoons should be 30 ml.

  2. 2

    Add a cup when you mean 240 ml

    One cup and nothing else is 240.

  3. 3

    Do not use this for a metric cup recipe

    That cup is 250 ml. Add the difference yourself.

Worth knowing

  • Cooking Volume Converter on Toolspire: 1 US cup = 240 ml. 1 tablespoon = 15 ml. 1 teaspoon = 5 ml.
  • 2 tablespoons = 30 ml.
  • Three teaspoons equal one tablespoon, because 3 × 5 = 15.
  • This is volume. A cup of flour and a cup of sugar do not weigh the same.

Spoons that divide evenly

A US teaspoon is taken as 5 ml and a tablespoon as 15 ml, so three teaspoons fill one tablespoon. A US cup is 240 ml, which is 16 tablespoons. Two tablespoons are 30 ml. A metric cup of 250 ml is a different convention and is not what the cup box means. The page adds volumes. It does not know how much a cup of flour weighs.
