FAQ
How many grams are in a cup?
It depends entirely on what's in the cup - a cup of flour, a cup of sugar, and a cup of water all weigh different amounts, since a cup measures volume, not weight. Use the weight tab above with the specific ingredient's known conversion rather than one universal number.
How do I convert an oven temperature for a fan (convection) oven?
A common rule of thumb is to lower the recipe's stated temperature by 25°F (about 15°C) when using a fan/convection oven, since the moving air cooks food faster at the same set temperature. Check times a few minutes early the first time you try it.
Is this calculator accurate for every ingredient?
The volume and weight conversions are standard, exact unit-to-unit conversions (cups to milliliters, ounces to grams). They don't account for ingredient density, so a cup-to-gram conversion for a specific ingredient (flour, sugar, butter) can differ from these generic unit conversions - check the ingredient's own recipe page for that.
