Cooking Converter
Cups ↔ grams for flour, sugar, rice & more.
About this calculator
Recipes disagree on measurements: American recipes use cups while Pakistani kitchens often weigh in grams. The catch is that a cup of flour weighs far less than a cup of sugar, so a single generic conversion misleads.
This converter uses per-ingredient weights — flour 120 g/cup, sugar 200, rice 185, oil 218, milk 240, water 236, butter 227 — and converts your amount into cups, grams and milliliters all at once.
How to use
- Select your ingredient from the list.
- Enter the amount and pick cups, grams or milliliters.
- Read the equivalent in all three units instantly.
- Use grams when precision matters, like baking.
