The weight of a tablespoon or cup depends heavily on the ingredient. For example, 1 tablespoon of water is 15g, while 1 tablespoon of sugar is about 9g.
This converter uses standard Japanese measurements where a tablespoon is 15ml, a teaspoon is 5ml, and a cup is 200ml. Keep in mind that powders like flour can vary depending on how they are scooped or sifted.
All conversions run entirely within your browser, ensuring that your inputs remain private and are not sent to any server.
Frequently asked questions
Are my entered amounts saved?
No. The conversion runs locally in your browser and is not sent to a server.
Are the conversions perfectly accurate?
They are estimates. Actual weight varies depending on how you pack the ingredient, how you level the spoon, and the specific brand of the ingredient.
Why might flour or starch differ from standard tables?
Powders can vary significantly in weight depending on whether they are sifted, packed, or scooped. For baking where precision is critical, we recommend using a kitchen scale.
What cup size does this use?
This tool uses the standard Japanese cup size of 200ml.
