How it works

Easily convert between common cooking measurements like cups, tablespoons, teaspoons, milliliters, and fluid ounces. Perfect for adjusting recipes from different regions or countries.


The Formula
Conversions are based on standard kitchen measurement equivalences. For example:
1 US cup = 16 US tablespoons
1 US tablespoon = 3 US teaspoons
1 US fluid ounce = 2 US tablespoons
1 US cup = 236.588 ml
1 UK fluid ounce = 28.413 ml

Worked Example
  1. Convert 0.5 US Cups to Milliliters

    If a recipe calls for 0.5 US cups of liquid, you can use the converter to find its equivalent in milliliters. Input '0.5' for the value, select 'US Cup' as the 'From Unit', and 'Milliliter' as the 'To Unit'. The result will show 118.294 ml.


Tips, Assumptions & Limitations
  • Always double-check the unit system (US vs. UK/Imperial) for fluid ounces and cups, as they can differ slightly.
  • For dry ingredients, weight conversions (grams, ounces) are more accurate than volume, but this tool focuses on liquid volume.
  • Use this tool to quickly scale recipes up or down by converting to a common unit first.
FAQ

Our conversions are based on standard, widely accepted equivalences for liquid measurements. While precise, slight variations can occur due to rounding or the specific density of ingredients (especially for dry goods measured by volume). For most home cooking and baking, these conversions are highly reliable.

The main difference is their volume. A US fluid ounce is approximately 29.57 milliliters, while a UK (Imperial) fluid ounce is slightly smaller at about 28.41 milliliters. This difference is why it's crucial to specify the system when converting between them.

This converter is primarily designed for liquid volume measurements. While you can convert 'cups' of dry ingredients, it's generally more accurate to measure dry ingredients by weight (grams, ounces) rather than volume, as their density can vary significantly. For liquids, volume conversions are very reliable.
