    Cooking Conversion Calculators

    Help, I Need to Know Cooking Equivalent Measurements Right Now

    Ever have one of those senior moments and forget how many teaspoons in ¼ cup? We all do!

    Here's an easy to us conversion calculator that will help you convert various cooking units. Use it to convert cooking units to your preference or use the table below.


    A Fun Conversion Calculator for:

    How to use this Conversion Calculator

    Most of my recipes are in American standard measurements like ounces, pounds, cups,
    tablespoons, etc. but if you want to convert my recipes into metric measurement, this
    converter will help.

    This Conversion Calculator is from Google and can be used to convert just about anything.
    Here's what to do:

    Type in the measurement you want to convert.  -  Then type "in"  -  Finish by typing in the measurement you would like to convert to

      Would you pin your conversion chart to Pinterest so I can post it? It is very good. Will it work if it is repinned?

      Sorry Jill, it's not a pin but please let your friends know where they can find it. -- RG

      The chart is helpful, however, the calculator doesn't work.

      Also, the capchas are HORRIBLE. Impossible to read. It has taken at least three tries to get them right.

      Q, not sure why it is not working for you, I just tested it and it worked fine for me. The Capchas are horrible but until I can figure out how to get Akismet to work with Joomla, I'm not sure what else to do. - RG

      Your calculator brings up Imperial units of measure in both drop downs. I tried it in Chrome and IE.
