Easy Cooking Measurements Conversion Table

Measuring Cups and Spoons

Use the cooking measurements in this cooking conversion table to convert volumes, weights and temperatures from imperial (spoons, cups, ounces, pounds and Fahrenheit) to metric (milliliters, grams, kilograms and Celsius) and vice versa.

Most of the ingredients and temperatures for the easy recipes on this site are given in both imperial and metric measurements for your convenience...

But the more you cook the more you'll run into all sorts of recipes from all over the world.

While many countries still use the Imperial system, many others have converted to the Metric system - so you never know what measurements a recipe will be given in.

When you get stuck use the cooking conversions below for quick and easy help!

By the way, if you don't have a good set of measuring cups and spoons, a measuring jug and a decent digital kitchen scale, I recommend that you do yourself a favor and treat yourself to these basic kitchen tools. They make your life sooooo much easier!
