Conversion Table for Cooking

Converting Recipes to Metric Measures

Liquids (and Herbs and Spices)
Liquids can be converted to liters or milliliters with the following table. Small volumes (less than about 1 fluid ounce or 2 tablespoons) of ingredients such as salt, herbs, spices, baking powder, etc. should also be converted with this table. Do not use this table to convert other non-liquid ingredients.

Volume Conversions: Normally used for liquids only
Customary quantity Metric equivalent
1 teaspoon 5 ml
1 tablespoon or 1/2 fluid ounce 15 ml
1 fluid ounce or 1/8 cup 30 ml
1/4 cup or 2 fluid ounces 60 ml
1/3 cup 80 ml
1/2 cup or 4 fluid ounces 120 ml
2/3 cup 160 ml
3/4 cup or 6 fluid ounces 180 ml
1 cup or 8 fluid ounces or half a pint 240 ml
1 1/2 cups or 12 fluid ounces 350 ml
2 cups or 1 pint or 16 fluid ounces 475 ml
3 cups or 1 1/2 pints 700 ml
4 cups or 2 pints or 1 quart 950 ml
4 quarts or 1 gallon 3.8 L

Note: In cases where higher precision is not justified, it
may be convenient to round these conversions off as follows:
1 cup = 250 ml
1 pint = 500 ml
1 quart = 1 L
1 gallon = 4 L

Weight

Weights can be converted with the following table. Note that the ounces referred to in this table are not the same as fluid ounces.

Weight Conversions 
Customary quantity Metric equivalent
1 ounce 28 g
4 ounces or 1/4 pound 113 g
1/3 pound 150 g
8 ounces or 1/2 pound 230 g
2/3 pound 300 g
12 ounces or 3/4 pound 340 g
1 pound or 16 ounces 450 g
2 pounds 900 g

Other non-liquid ingredients
Non-liquid ingredients specified in American recipes by volume (if more than about 2 tablespoons or 1 fluid ounce) should be converted to weight with the following table. If you need to convert an ingredient that isn’t in this table, the safest thing to do is to measure it with a traditional measuring cup and then weigh the results with a metric scale. In a pinch, you can use the volume conversion table, above.
