Break down culinary barriers with our recipe scaler tool designed for global measurement conversion. Whether you're cooking traditional recipes from Europe, Asia, or anywhere in between, our intelligent conversion system ensures you can scale and convert recipes while maintaining the authentic flavors and textures that make international cuisine special.

Metric ↔ Imperial: Seamless Conversion Between Measurement Systems

Convert cups to grams, tablespoons to milliliters, and more while scaling. The world uses different measurement systems, and our recipe scaler bridges the gap between metric and imperial measurements, allowing you to cook recipes from any country with confidence and accuracy.

Understanding Global Measurement Systems:

Imperial System (US/UK): Cups, tablespoons, teaspoons, ounces, pounds, and Fahrenheit
Metric System (International): Grams, kilograms, milliliters, liters, and Celsius
Regional Variations: Different countries may use hybrid systems or unique measurements
Traditional Measurements: Some cultures use volume-based measurements like "pinch" or "handful"

Automatic Unit Conversion:

Precision Scaling: Convert measurements while maintaining exact ratios
Fraction Simplification: Handle complex fractions in any measurement system
Unit Consistency: Maintain measurement consistency throughout converted recipes

Common Conversion Scenarios:

Our recipe scaler excels at these international conversion challenges:

Volume to Weight: Convert cups of flour to grams for precise baking
Temperature Conversion: Convert between Fahrenheit and Celsius for accurate cooking

Measurement Conversion Fundamentals

Weight Conversions for Dry Ingredients:

Master the art of converting dry ingredient measurements:

Flour Conversions: 1 cup all-purpose flour = approximately 120-130 grams
Sugar Conversions: 1 cup granulated sugar = approximately 200 grams
Butter Conversions: 1 cup butter = 227 grams (2 sticks)
Nuts and Seeds: 1 cup chopped nuts = approximately 120-150 grams
Dried Herbs: 1 tablespoon dried herbs = approximately 3-5 grams

Volume Conversions for Liquid Ingredients:

Water and Broth: 1 cup = 240 milliliters = 8 fluid ounces
Oil and Fats: 1 cup oil = 216 grams = 8.5 fluid ounces
Milk and Cream: 1 cup milk = 240 milliliters = 8.5 fluid ounces
Vinegar and Acids: 1 cup vinegar = 240 milliliters = 8 fluid ounces
Syrups and Honey: 1 cup honey = 340 grams = 8 fluid ounces

Temperature Conversions:

Baking Temperatures: 350°F = 175°C, 400°F = 200°C, 450°F = 230°C
Common Cooking Ranges: 300-375°F = 150-190°C for most baking
High-Temperature Cooking: 500°F+ = 260°C+ for pizza and broiling
Low-Temperature Cooking: 200-250°F = 95-120°C for slow cooking

Small Measurement Conversions:

Teaspoon Conversions: 1 tsp = 5 milliliters = 1/3 tablespoon
Tablespoon Conversions: 1 tbsp = 15 milliliters = 3 teaspoons
Pinch and Dash: 1 pinch ≈ 1/16 teaspoon, 1 dash ≈ 1/8 teaspoon
Fractional Cups: 1/4 cup = 60 milliliters, 1/3 cup = 80 milliliters
