Cooking Conversion Calculator

Convert between teaspoons, tablespoons, cups and milliliters for recipes.

Common measures

1 teaspoon is about 4.93 ml, 1 tablespoon is about 14.79 ml and 1 US cup is about 236.59 ml.

When to use it

Use this calculator when a recipe gives a measurement in the wrong unit or when your measuring spoon does not match the instruction. It works best for simple volume conversions.

Example

If a recipe asks for tablespoons but your measuring jug shows milliliters, convert before scaling the recipe. Then use the recipe scaler if you are changing serving counts.

Common mistake

Volume conversions do not turn every ingredient into the same weight. A cup of flour and a cup of water do not weigh the same.
