This converter translates recipe quantities between the volume units cooks actually use — cups, tablespoons, teaspoons, fluid ounces, pints, quarts, millilitres and litres. It is ideal for following a recipe written in unfamiliar units, scaling a batch up or down, or switching between US and metric measures. Everything runs in your browser.
How it works
Every unit is defined relative to millilitres using US customary volumes, with a cup set at 240 ml. The tool converts your input to millilitres, then out to every other unit at once:
| Unit | Millilitres |
|---|---|
| Teaspoon (tsp) | 4.929 ml |
| Tablespoon (tbsp) | 14.787 ml |
| Fluid ounce (US) | 29.574 ml |
| Cup (US) | 240 ml |
| Pint (US) | 473.176 ml |
| Quart (US) | 946.353 ml |
| Litre | 1,000 ml |
This is volume-only; for dry ingredients, weight in grams is more accurate.
Example
Enter 1 cup:
1 cup = 240 ml = 16 tablespoons = 48 teaspoons = 8 fluid ounces = 0.5 pints
So a single US cup is 240 ml or 16 tablespoons. It uses US customary volumes (1 cup = 240 ml). For dry ingredients, weight is more reliable than volume — but for liquids and quick scaling this handles everything at once, entirely in your browser.
