Frequently asked questions
Yes. 1 cup = 16 tablespoons = 48 teaspoons. Enter a fraction of a cup (like 0.0625 for 1 tablespoon) and the result shows grams for the full set. Most baking ingredients are also listed in the blog cheat sheet.
Different sources measure flour differently. We follow the spoon-and-level method (125 g per cup), the same standard used by King Arthur Baking. Scooping straight from the bag gives 130–150 g, while sifted flour drops to about 110 g.
No — honey, maple syrup and molasses are much denser than water. Use the liquid entries in our database (honey 340 g/cup, maple syrup 320 g/cup) rather than a generic 240 g "water cup".
