Common Cooking Calculations
Recipe Scaling: Double recipes for potlucks or halve them for intimate dinners. Maintain proper ingredient ratios for perfect results.
Volume to Weight Conversion: Convert cups of flour, sugar, and other ingredients to grams for precise baking measurements.
Temperature Conversion: Switch between Fahrenheit and Celsius when following international recipes or using different ovens.
Measurement Conversion: Convert between tablespoons, cups, and other volume measurements quickly and accurately.
Ingredient Substitution: Replace ingredients while maintaining proper ratios and recipe balance.
Worked Examples for Home Cooks
If a recipe serves 4 but you need 6, multiply every ingredient by 1.5. Two cups of flour becomes 3 cups, and 1 teaspoon of salt becomes 1.5 teaspoons. The recipe scaler handles these conversions and helps you avoid rounding mistakes.
For baking, weight is often more accurate than volume. Converting 1 cup of all-purpose flour to grams provides a consistent result across kitchens, which is especially helpful when scaling or reproducing a recipe.
Edge Cases and Kitchen Tips
Ingredient densities can vary by brand, humidity, and how you pack a cup. For the most reliable results, use the weight-based conversions in our calculators and measure with a kitchen scale.
Oven temperatures can be off by 10-20 degrees depending on calibration. When converting Fahrenheit to Celsius, consider verifying your oven with an internal thermometer and adjust baking times as needed.
References and Standards
We align common kitchen conversions with standard culinary references and metric guidelines. Temperature conversions use the standard (F - 32) * 5/9 and (C * 9/5) + 32 formulas. Ingredient weights are based on widely accepted average densities used in cooking resources.
