Cooking Converter

Convert recipe ingredients to the units you actually use. Look up an ingredient, convert grams to cups without a scale, work out how many apples or lemons you need, scale a whole recipe, or read up on why a cup of flour and a cup of sugar weigh different amounts.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is 100g of butter in tablespoons?

100g of butter is about 7.3 tablespoons, since one tablespoon of butter weighs roughly 13.6g. That is a little under half a US stick, which holds 8 tablespoons and weighs 113g. Soft or melted butter packs differently, so weighing on a scale is the most reliable way. Use the butter converter to switch between grams, tablespoons, cups, and sticks for any amount.

How many grams is 1 cup of cocoa powder?

1 cup of cocoa powder is about 120g, so half a cup is 60g and a quarter cup is 30g. Cocoa powder is light and clumps easily, so spoon it into the cup and level off rather than scooping, or sift it first. For baking accuracy, weighing beats measuring by volume. Use the cocoa powder converter for grams, cups, and spoon amounts. Open the cocoa powder converter

How many tablespoons is 100g of honey?

100g of honey is about 4.8 tablespoons, since honey is dense and one tablespoon weighs roughly 21g. That makes a cup of honey around 350g, far heavier than the same cup of flour. Warming honey slightly helps it pour and measure cleanly. Use the honey converter to switch between grams, tablespoons, cups, and millilitres for any amount. Open the honey converter

What can I use instead of an egg in baking?

Common one-egg swaps are a flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed plus 3 tablespoons water), 3 tablespoons of aquafaba, a quarter cup of applesauce, a quarter cup of mashed banana, or a quarter cup of yoghurt. Each suits different bakes: banana and applesauce add moisture and sweetness, while flax and aquafaba stay neutral. Use the egg substitute calculator to scale any of these to the number of eggs you need. Open the egg substitute calculator

How many grams is 1 cup of rolled oats?

1 cup of rolled oats is about 90g, so half a cup is 45g and two cups are 180g. Rolled oats are light and airy, so the same cup holds far less weight than a cup of flour or sugar. Spoon them in loosely rather than packing them down. Use the rolled oats converter for grams, cups, and spoon amounts in any recipe. Open the rolled oats converter
