Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert cups to grams for baking?
Select your ingredient from the dropdown (flour, sugar, butter, etc.), enter the number of cups, and the converter instantly shows the weight in grams. Different ingredients have different densities, so the converter uses ingredient-specific calculations for accuracy. For example, 1 cup of flour = 125g, but 1 cup of sugar = 200g.
Why do cups to grams conversions vary by ingredient?
Ingredient density determines weight. A cup measures volume (space occupied), not weight. Flour is light and airy (1 cup = 125g), while sugar is denser (1 cup = 200g), and butter is even denser (1 cup = 227g). Filator's converter uses accurate density data for 100+ ingredients to provide precise conversions.
How many grams is 1 cup of flour?
1 cup of all-purpose flour equals approximately 125 grams. This can vary slightly depending on how the flour is measured (scooped vs spooned). For best baking results, use a kitchen scale or our converter for accurate measurements.
Can I convert teaspoons and tablespoons to milliliters?
Yes! 1 teaspoon = 4.93 mL (approximately 5 mL), and 1 tablespoon = 14.79 mL (approximately 15 mL). The converter handles all common kitchen volume units including tsp, tbsp, cups, milliliters, and liters with instant results.
Is the cooking converter accurate for all recipes?
Yes, our converter uses density-based calculations for 100+ ingredients, making it accurate for both American recipes (cups) and European recipes (grams). It's designed specifically for cooking and baking, unlike generic converters that don't account for ingredient-specific densities.
Do I need to create an account to use the converter?
No signup or account creation is ever required. Unlike some cooking apps that require registration for full features, Filator's converter is completely free and anonymous forever. Simply visit the page and start converting.
Can I use this converter on my phone while cooking?
Absolutely! The converter works perfectly on all mobile browsers (Safari on iOS, Chrome on Android). It also works offline after the first load, so you can convert measurements even without internet while cooking.
What's the difference between US cups and metric cups?
A US cup equals 236.588 mL (8 fluid ounces), while a metric cup (used in Australia, Canada, South Africa) equals 250 mL. Our converter uses US cup measurements by default, which are standard in most American recipes. The difference is small but matters for precise baking.
