Live Calculation

Convert weight to volume accurately by accounting for density differences.

Quick:
Condition: Spooned and leveled (fluffed with a fork, gently spooned into cup, and leveled) • The USDA standard defines 1 cup of all-purpose flour as 125g. Published baking standards vary: King Arthur Baking specifies 120g/cup for their recipes, while direct scooping ("dip and sweep") compacts flour up to 140g–150g per cup.
Quick:
Traditional US recipe cup defined as exactly 8 fluid ounces. Cup standards differ by region (US 236.6 mL, US Legal 240 mL, Metric 250 mL, UK 284.1 mL, Japanese 200 mL). US Customary is standard for American recipes.
