Frequently asked questions
Why do grams per cup differ by ingredient?
A cup measures volume, not weight, so a cup of fluffy flour weighs much less than a cup of dense honey. Each ingredient has its own standard weight per cup.
Are these values exact?
They are the widely used standard values (for example, flour 120 g per cup, spooned and levelled). Real scoops vary a little with packing and humidity, so treat results as a close guide — for baking, a kitchen scale is always the most accurate.
How do I scale a recipe?
Divide the new servings by the original servings to get the scale factor, then multiply every ingredient amount by it. Doubling from 4 to 8 servings means a factor of 2.
Does scaling change the cooking time?
Not always in proportion. A doubled recipe in a larger pan may need a little more time, but rarely double. Check for doneness rather than relying only on the clock. Use it as a free recipe converter online — no signup, nothing to install.
