Quick reference
3 teaspoons = 1 tablespoon. 16 tablespoons = 1 cup. 1 US cup = 240 ml (approximately). 1 fl oz ≈ 30 ml.
1 ounce = 28.35 g. 1 pound = 16 oz = 453.6 g. Note: cup measurements for dry ingredients (flour, sugar) vary by how the ingredient is packed — weight measurements are more precise for baking.
Frequently asked questions
How many tablespoons are in a cup?
There are 16 US tablespoons in 1 US cup. 1 tablespoon = 3 teaspoons = 14.787 ml.
How do I convert grams to cups?
Volume and weight conversions depend on the ingredient density — 1 cup of water weighs 236 g but 1 cup of flour weighs roughly 120–130 g. This tool converts volume-to-volume and weight-to-weight; ingredient-specific conversions require knowing the density.
