Question 1

How many grams are in a cup of flour?

Accepted Answer

A US cup of plain (all-purpose) flour weighs approximately 125g. Bread flour is around 120g per cup and wholemeal flour is also about 120g. These vary because different flours pack differently — always weigh for consistent baking results.

Question 2

What is the difference between a US cup and a UK cup?

Accepted Answer

A US cup holds 236.6ml, while a UK and Australian cup holds 250ml — about 5% more. For most savoury cooking this difference doesn't matter, but in baking it can affect results. Our converters let you select your cup size so you always get the right amount.

Question 3

How do I convert tablespoons to grams?

Accepted Answer

A tablespoon of water or milk is about 15g, but denser ingredients like butter weigh around 14g per tablespoon and flour is only about 8g. Because weight depends on the ingredient, use our tablespoons-to-grams converter which accounts for ingredient density.

Question 4

Is it better to weigh ingredients or use cup measures?

Accepted Answer

Weighing with a kitchen scale is more accurate, especially for baking. Cup measurements can vary by up to 20% depending on how tightly an ingredient is packed. If a recipe gives both weights and volumes, always use the weights.

Question 5

How many ml is a cup?

Accepted Answer

A standard US cup is 236.6ml. UK and Australian cups are 250ml. A metric cup (used in some countries) is also 250ml. Tablespoons are 15ml and teaspoons are 5ml.
