How to use

Convert cooking measurements between cups, tablespoons, teaspoons, milliliters, and grams for common ingredients like water, flour, sugar, and butter.

How it's calculated

Density (g/ml)

(ingredient==1)*1.0 + (ingredient==2)*0.593 + (ingredient==3)*0.845 + (ingredient==4)*0.911

Density of the selected ingredient in g/ml

Amount in ml

amount * ((from_unit==1)*240 + (from_unit==2)*15 + (from_unit==3)*5 + (from_unit==4)*1 + (from_unit==5)*(1/((ingredient==1)*1.0 + (ingredient==2)*0.593 + (ingredient==3)*0.845 + (ingredient==4)*0.911)))

Intermediate value converted to milliliters

Result

(amount * ((from_unit==1)*240 + (from_unit==2)*15 + (from_unit==3)*5 + (from_unit==4)*1 + (from_unit==5)*(1/((ingredient==1)*1.0 + (ingredient==2)*0.593 + (ingredient==3)*0.845 + (ingredient==4)*0.911)))) * ((to_unit==1)*(1/240) + (to_unit==2)*(1/15) + (to_unit==3)*(1/5) + (to_unit==4)*1 + (to_unit==5)*((ingredient==1)*1.0 + (ingredient==2)*0.593 + (ingredient==3)*0.845 + (ingredient==4)*0.911))

Why do different ingredients give different gram results for the same volume?

Because different ingredients have different densities. Water is 1 g/ml, flour is lighter at 0.593 g/ml, sugar is 0.845 g/ml, and butter is 0.911 g/ml. Always select the correct ingredient for accurate results.
