Frequently Asked Questions
How many tablespoons are in a cup?▾
There are 16 tablespoons in 1 US cup. Each tablespoon equals 3 teaspoons, so 1 cup = 48 teaspoons. Half a cup is 8 tablespoons, and a quarter cup is 4 tablespoons. These measurements are standard in US recipes.
What is the difference between US cups and metric cups?▾
A US cup is 236.588 ml while a metric cup (used in Australia and New Zealand) is exactly 250 ml. An Imperial cup (UK, Canada historically) is 284.131 ml. When following recipes from different countries, check which cup standard they use. Most international recipes now specify ml for clarity.
How do I convert between weight and volume for cooking?▾
Weight-to-volume conversion depends on the ingredient's density. For example, 1 cup of flour weighs about 125g, but 1 cup of sugar weighs about 200g, and 1 cup of butter weighs about 227g. For precise baking, always use weight (grams) rather than volume (cups). This converter handles volume-to-volume conversions.
What is a fluid ounce vs a dry ounce?▾
A fluid ounce (fl oz) measures volume: 1 US fl oz = 29.5735 ml. A dry ounce (oz) measures weight: 1 oz = 28.3495 grams. They are not interchangeable. Water is close (1 fl oz of water weighs about 1.04 oz), but for other ingredients the difference can be significant. This converter handles fluid ounces (volume).
How many ml is a teaspoon?▾
A US teaspoon is approximately 4.929 ml, often rounded to 5 ml. A metric teaspoon is exactly 5 ml. A US tablespoon is about 14.787 ml (3 teaspoons). In medicine and international cooking, the metric 5 ml teaspoon is standard. A dessertspoon (used in UK/Australia) is 10 ml.
