- Choose the unit you have in From and the unit you want in To.
- Use the ⇄ button to flip the conversion and carry the result over.
- Converting milliliters? The line under the result shows the same amount as cups + tablespoons + teaspoons.
This tool converts volume to volume. To turn cups of an ingredient into grams, use the cups to grams converter, because every ingredient weighs something different.
