Guide: 1 tablespoon = 15 ml · 1 teaspoon = 5 ml · 1 cup = 250 ml.
How do you convert without scales?
The weight of the same volume changes with the ingredient: a tablespoon of flour does not weigh the same as a tablespoon of honey, because their density differs. This converter applies the real density of each ingredient to switch from grams to millilitres, spoons and cups. Handy when a recipe mixes units or you do not have scales to hand.
Basic measures to remember
A level tablespoon is 15 ml, a teaspoon is 5 ml, and a standard glass or cup is 250 ml. For liquids such as water or milk, 1 ml ≈ 1 g. For flour, allow about 8 g per tablespoon, and 100 g for a well-filled glass.
Frequently asked questions
How many grams are in a tablespoon?
It depends on the ingredient: about 15 g of water or milk, 8 g of flour, 12 g of sugar, 15 g of melted butter or 21 g of honey. Select the ingredient above for the exact figure.
How many millilitres are in a cup?
Here we count 250 ml for a standard cup or glass. American recipes use a « cup » of 240 ml: the difference is negligible.
Are the conversions exact?
They are very good approximations based on the average density of each ingredient. Packing (flour more or less compacted) can change the weight by a few grams. For precision baking, scales are still best.
