These measurements and conversions from Standard to Metric units will help you in the kitchen and especially when making recipes!

Measurement cups and spoons show standard to metric conversion


I’ve been wanting for a while now to set up a chart like this to detail measurements and conversions from weights (Standard and Metric) to temperatures (F to C). I hope this helps when reading the recipes here. With more and more international traffic (yeah for this site!) I have been asked several times for this.

Measurements and Conversions

 Some regular ingredients I use throughout the site are the following unless otherwise stated:

  • 1 cube butter = 8 tablespoons (Tbsp) unsalted unless otherwise noted
  • Flour is always all-purpose flour, unless otherwise noted
  • Eggs are large, unless otherwise noted
  • I use kosher salt, but feel free to use regular table salt

Cup, Tablespoon (Tbsp) and Teaspoon (Tsp) to Milliliters – (cup to ml)

  • 1 cup = 16 tablespoons = 48 teaspoons = 240 ml
  • 3/4 cup = 12 tablespoons = 36 teaspoons = 180 ml
  • 2/3 cup = 11 tablespoons = 32 teaspoons = 160 ml
  • 1/2 cup = 8 tablespoons = 24 teaspoons = 120 ml
  • 1/3 cup = 5 tablespoons = 16 teaspoons = 80 ml
  • 1/4 cup = 4 tablespoons = 12 teaspoons = 60 ml
  • 1 tablespoon = 15 ml
  • 1 teaspoon = 5 ml

Cup to Fluid Ounces (oz) –  (cup to fl. oz)

  • 1 cup = 8 fl oz
  • 3/4 cup = 6 fl oz
  • 2/3 cup = 5 fl oz
  • 1/2 cup = 4 fl oz
  • 1/3 cup = 3 fl oz
  • 1/4 cup = 2 fl oz
  • 1 tablespoon = 0.5 fl oz
  • 1 fl oz = 2 tablespoons = 6 teaspoons

Ounces to Grams

  • 1 oz = 28 grams
  • 2 oz = 56 grams
  • 3.5 oz = 100 grams
  • 4 oz = 112 grams
  • 5 oz = 140 grams
  • 6 oz = 168 grams
  • 8 oz = 225 grams
  • 9 oz = 250 grams
  • 10 oz = 280 grams
  • 12 oz = 340 grams
  • 16 oz = 450 grams
  • 18 oz = 500 grams
  • 20 oz = 560 grams
  • 24 oz = 675 grams
  • 27 oz = 750 grams
  • 36 oz = 1 kilogram
  • 54 oz = 1.5 kilograms
  • 72 oz = 2 kilograms

Pounds (lbs) to Grams

  • 1/4 pound = 112 grams
  • 1/2 pound = 225 grams
  • 3/4 pound = 340 grams
  • 1 pound = 450 grams
  • 1.25 pound = 560 grams
  • 1.5 pound = 675 grams
  • 2 pound = 900 grams
  • 2.25 pound = 1 kilogram
  • 3 pound = 1.35 kilograms
  • 4.5 pound = 2 kilograms

Fahrenheit to Celsius (F to C)

C x 1.8 + 32 = F
F – 32 / 1.8 = C

  • 500° F = 260 C
  • 475° F = 245 C
  • 450° F = 235 C
  • 425° F = 220 C
  • 400° F = 205 C
  • 375° F = 190 C
  • 350° F = 180 C
  • 325° F = 160 C
  • 300° F = 150 C
  • 275° F = 135 C
  • 250° F = 120 C
  • 225° F = 107 C

  1. Very concise – this will be my go-to instead of googling every time & getting a different chart! LOVE this one!

  2. Super handy tables you’ve got here, Kevin! I often have to google these conversions, and now I’ll just be able to keep this post handy instead. Thanks for sharing, and here’s to 2015! #WolfpackMeasures
