📏 Common Conversion Units

1. Volume Units

• • Cups – standard US or metric cup
• • Tablespoons (Tbsp) – 1 cup = 16 Tbsp
• • Teaspoons (Tsp) – 1 Tbsp = 3 Tsp
• • Milliliters (ml) – 1 cup ≈ 240 ml
• • Liters (L) – 1000 ml = 1 L

2. Weight Units

• • Grams (g) – metric unit
• • Kilograms (kg) – 1000 g = 1 kg
• • Ounces (oz) – 1 oz ≈ 28.35 g
• • Pounds (lb) – 1 lb = 16 oz

🥄 Common Ingredient Conversions

• • 1 cup flour ≈ 125 g
• • 1 cup sugar ≈ 200 g
• • 1 cup butter ≈ 227 g
• • 1 tbsp = 15 ml
• • 1 tsp = 5 ml

Note: Different ingredients have different densities, so weight-to-volume conversion varies.

� Example Usage

• • Convert 2 cups of sugar to grams: 2 × 200 g = 400 g
• • Convert 3 tablespoons of olive oil to ml: 3 × 15 ml = 45 ml
• • Convert 500 g flour to cups: 500 ÷ 125 g = 4 cups

📊 Scaling Recipes

The calculator also helps scale recipes. For example:

Original recipe serves 4 people; you want to serve 6. Multiply all ingredient amounts by 6 ÷ 4 = 1.5.

• • 2 cups flour × 1.5 = 3 cups flour
• • 1 cup sugar × 1.5 = 1.5 cups sugar

🎯 Why Accuracy Matters in Cooking

• • Baking requires precise measurements for correct texture
• • Cooking sauces, soups, and beverages rely on proportions
• • Prevents waste and improves taste
• • Ensures consistent results every time
