Kitchen Unit Converter
Convert between volume and weight for common cooking ingredients. Essential for baking where precision matters, especially when converting between US cups and metric grams.
Why Weights Matter
Baking is chemistry. Measuring flour by volume (cups) is notoriously inaccurate because it can be packed tightly or loosely. Weighing your ingredients (grams) ensures your recipe comes out perfectly every time.
Common Conversions Cheat Sheet

| Sugar (Granulated) | ~200g | Denser than flour. |
