Why Use a Baking Converter?
If you’ve ever asked, “How many grams are in 1 cup of flour?” or “How much butter is ½ cup in grams?” – you’re not alone.
Different countries use different systems:
- The US often uses cups and ounces
- The UK and EU rely on grams and milliliters
Without the right conversion, your cookies may spread too much, cakes may sink, or bread may come out too dense.
That’s why bakers worldwide use a baking calculator or recipe conversion calculator – to ensure accuracy and perfect results.

Why Accuracy Matters in Baking
Baking is a science. Unlike cooking, where you can add “a pinch of this or that,” baking requires precise measurements.
- Too much flour → dry cookies
- Too much sugar → Crispy Cookies
- Wrong butter measurement → greasy or crumbly results
That’s why professional bakers recommend using a kitchen scale.
