Mayonnaise Measurement Converter

Use the tool below to convert mayonnaise from the measurements in your recipe to the measurements that you need.

Mayonnaise is a thick emulsion of oil, egg yolk, and an acid such as vinegar or lemon juice. One metric cup (250 ml) weighs around 230 grams or 8.11 ounces. Most cooks reach for it as a sandwich spread or salad dressing base, but it also keeps cakes and quick breads moist when used in place of oil or sour cream.

Jars of mayonnaise are sold by volume in millilitres or by weight in grams, while recipes mix cups, tablespoons, and grams. Converting between the three saves you over-spooning into a chocolate cake batter that calls for half a cup.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are mayonnaise and mayo the same thing?
Yes. Mayo is another name for mayonnaise, so they are the same ingredient and measure identically. A cup of mayonnaise weighs 230 grams under either name, and every conversion on this page holds whichever name your recipe uses. Recipes swap the two freely, so you can follow either without changing quantities or weighing any differently.
What is 0.25 cups of mayonnaise in tablespoons?
0.25 cups of mayonnaise is 4.17 tablespoons. This is the same for any ingredient, since cups and tablespoons are both volume units and do not depend on what you are measuring. One cup is about 16.67 tablespoons, so 0.5 cups is 8.33 tablespoons. Use the volume converter to switch between cups, tablespoons, teaspoons, and millilitres for any amount. Open the volume converter

Related to Mayonnaise

Greek Yoghurt

Greek yoghurt swaps 1:1 by volume for mayonnaise and brings a tangier, lighter result with far more protein and less fat. It weighs a little more per cup (260 g vs 230 g). It works in slaws, dips, and dressings, and lightens potato or egg salad while keeping it thick and creamy. See our Greek Yoghurt converter.

Sour Cream

Sour cream swaps 1:1 for mayonnaise with a tangier taste and similar richness (250 g vs 230 g per cup). Use it in dressings, dips, and chocolate cake batters where mayonnaise adds moisture; expect a little more tang and a slightly looser texture in dressings or a creamier crumb in cake. See our Sour Cream converter.
