Kitchen measurement basics
- Why keep volume and weight apart?
- A cup measures space and a gram measures mass. A cup of flour and a cup of honey weigh very different amounts, so any single cups-to-grams figure would be wrong for most ingredients.
- US cups or metric cups?
- The cup here is the US customary cup of 8 US fluid ounces. A metric cup is 250 mL, slightly larger.
- How do I halve or double a recipe?
- Scale every amount by the same factor — the recipe scaler does it for a whole ingredient list at once.

Frequently asked questions
- How many millilitres in a US cup?
- A US cup is 8 US fluid ounces, about 236.6 mL.
- Can I convert cups of flour to grams?
- Not reliably. A cup of flour and a cup of sugar weigh different amounts because their densities differ, so this tool keeps volume and weight separate rather than guessing.
- Is a fluid ounce the same as an ounce?
- No. A fluid ounce measures volume; an ounce measures weight.
