Cooking Measurement Converter

Convert recipe quantities between volume (cups, spoons, millilitres) and weight (grams, ounces). Converting between volume and weight depends on the ingredient, so choose it first.

2 cup of all-purpose flour =249.84 g

Step-by-step working

Density of all-purpose flour (spooned) ≈ 0.528 g per ml
2 cup = 473.176 ml → 249.837 g
Result: 249.837 g

Volume-to-weight conversions are approximate: how you fill the cup (spooned or scooped, sifted or packed) can change the weight by 10–20%. Weighing is more reliable for baking.
