About Measure Pantry

Measure Pantry is run by Ivan K, a home cook and baker. The site exists because so many US recipes list cups, while a kitchen scale gives grams — and because results often vary when flour is scooped rather than weighed. That small difference is often enough to change how a bake turns out.

Measure Pantry is a free set of kitchen measurement tools for home cooks in the United States: cups to grams by ingredient, volume, weight and oven temperature converters, and a recipe scaler.

Where the numbers come from

Ingredient densities start as reference values from published baking references. They are labeled as reference values — being verified with kitchen scale tests until they have been checked. We are checking them one by one against a digital kitchen scale, and we update pages as those checks are done.

Volume, weight and temperature conversions use exact US customary and metric definitions.
