Frequently Asked Questions
How many tablespoons are in a cup?
There are 16 tablespoons in one US cup. Each tablespoon equals 3 teaspoons, so one cup also equals 48 teaspoons.
Why do weight conversions differ by ingredient?
Different ingredients have different densities. A cup of all-purpose flour weighs about 125 grams, while a cup of sugar weighs about 200 grams, and a cup of butter weighs about 227 grams. The converter accounts for these differences.
How do I convert a recipe from metric to US measurements?
Select each ingredient, enter the metric measurement (grams or milliliters), and the tool will show the equivalent in cups, tablespoons, or ounces. This ensures accurate results that account for ingredient density.
