This
tool is used for cooking and recipe conversions. When you convert from grams or
ounces (weight) to teaspoons, tablespoons or cups (volume), you are converting from a
weight to a volume. This simple calculation may not be highly accurate in many
cases. This should not be used for measuring medicine or any form of critical
science. Increasingly in the U.S. we encounter foods weighed in "grams" and we
still live in a "teaspoons and measuring cup" country. Sometimes we just
need an estimated amount for cooking.
How To Use:
We've provide a chart (below) that displays basic gram to cup equivalents. Our
converter is based on a conversion of 229.92 grams per cup. You can locate a item on the
chart that is similar to what you need to weigh and decide if you need to make any
adjustments
Example, a teaspoon of baking powder does not weigh the same as a
teaspoon of peanut butter. This calculator will simply give you an approximate
measurement. When accuracy is imperative you should purchase a scale that will weigh in
grams. |

Our
highly accurate gram calculator program allows you
to select the food item you want to convert, and based on its actual gram
weight (over 6500 ingredients) convert to the proper volume such as cups, teaspoons,
tablespoons etc. This is an invaluable tool if you are a
cookbook writer or editor, or a home cook that needs to convert
recipe ingredients from grams (weight) to volumes.
