What you get
A cup is not one number
Flour, sugar and butter weigh very different amounts per cup. The card weighs 50 common ingredients one by one, with weights from USDA FoodData Central: 1 cup of flour is 120 g, sugar 200 g, butter 227 g.
Never a guessed weight
Liquids go to millilitres, spoons to ml or grams, ounces and pounds to grams and kilograms. An ingredient without a known weight converts by volume instead of a guess.
The steps too
Oven temperatures from °F to °C and pan sizes such as a 9×13-inch pan are converted inside the steps. "As written" shows the author's original amounts next to the converted ones.
Scale it to your table
Change the servings and every amount follows, in both directions. Calories per serving come from the site, or you type your own.
A quick converter in the popup
For a recipe from a book or a page without recipe data: pick an ingredient, type the amount and get grams, ounces, tablespoons and millilitres at once, plus a small chart of everyday conversions.
Save, print, take it along

Your recipes stay in your browser
The extension reads the recipe only on the tab where you click its button, or on recipe pages if you turn on the automatic button. It converts it on your device and sends nothing to us: no account, no analytics, no ads.
Open on your phone puts the recipe inside the link itself, after the # sign, which browsers never send to a server.
Questions and answers
How many grams are in a cup of flour?
About 120 g when the flour is spooned in and levelled. A cup of sugar is about 200 g and a cup of butter 227 g, so the card uses the weight that fits each line.
Which recipe pages work?
Pages that publish structured recipe data (schema.org), as most large cooking and baking sites do. On other pages, use the quick converter in the popup.
What if an ingredient is not in the table?
It converts by volume, for example cups to millilitres, and never guesses a weight.
Does it convert metric recipes to US cups?
Yes. The switch works both ways: grams to cups for every ingredient with a known weight, and millilitres to spoons and US measures.
Which languages does it speak?
The interface is in 15 languages, including English, German, French, Spanish, Japanese and Korean.
Is it free?
Yes. Every feature is free and works without an account.
