Kitchen volume conversions

Questions and answers

Why can’t I convert cups to grams without an ingredient?

Cups measure volume and grams measure weight. A cup of flour weighs about 120 g while a cup of honey weighs about 340 g, so the ingredient’s density is needed.

Which cup does ConvertEasy use?

The US customary cup (236.6 mL) for ingredient weights. The metric cup (250 mL) is available as a unit too.
