About Kitchen Conversions
Kitchen Conversions is a free measurement calculator and reference site for people who cook, bake and follow recipes written in someone else's units.
About our kitchen conversion calculator
Cooking and baking move between measurement systems all the time. A recipe is written in cups, your scale reads grams, and the oven is set in the other temperature scale. The calculator on our home page handles those jumps in both directions: volume (gallons down to milliliters), weight, length, temperature and speed. It accepts fractions such as 1 3/8 and gives inch results as fractions to the nearest 1/16.
How the numbers are made
The calculator runs entirely in your browser. Every conversion factor comes from a standard definition: the US customary gallon (3.785 liters), the international avoirdupois pound (453.59 grams), and the exact inch (25.4 mm). The reference tables on the guide pages are worked out from those same factors and rounded for reading. Ingredient weights, such as the grams in a cup of flour, are typical values that vary with how an ingredient is packed, and the guides say so wherever it applies.
