Frequently asked questions
- Are these US or metric cups?
- US customary units throughout (a US cup is 236.588ml) — UK/Commonwealth "metric cups" are slightly different (250ml exactly), so double-check if a recipe specifies an Imperial or metric cup instead.
- How many teaspoons in a tablespoon?
- 3 teaspoons make one tablespoon, and 16 tablespoons make one US cup — type 1 into the tablespoon field to see the teaspoon equivalent instantly.
- Does this account for ingredient density?
- No — these are volume-to-volume conversions only. Converting to weight (like grams) would need to account for the specific ingredient's density, which varies (a cup of flour and a cup of water don't weigh the same).
