About Cookometry

Cookometry exists to eliminate confusion in the kitchen. We believe finding a cooking conversion should be instant, clear, and trustworthy — not buried in a blog post.

Whether you need to halve a recipe, convert cups to grams, scale a recipe for a crowd, or swap baking pans, Cookometry gives you the answer in seconds.

How conversions are calculated

Every calculator on Cookometry is powered by a single, shared calculation engine. Unit conversions (cups to tablespoons, milliliters to fluid ounces) use exact mathematical ratios. Ingredient weight conversions (cups to grams) use ingredient-specific density data from sources like the USDA FoodData Central.

Ingredient weights can vary by brand, measuring method, and compaction. For example, a spooned-and-leveled cup of flour weighs about 120 grams, but a scooped cup can be 20% heavier. We display reference values and note when a conversion is approximate. For baking precision, weighing ingredients with a digital scale is more reliable than measuring by volume.

Built by home cooks, for home cooks. Every calculator uses the same accurate calculation engine so you get consistent results every time.

Our Approach

Cookometry is designed around a simple principle: cooking conversions should be useful, understandable, and transparent.

We use established measurement relationships for standard unit conversions and ingredient-specific reference weights when converting between volume and weight. Because ingredients and measuring techniques can vary, approximate conversions are clearly treated as practical kitchen estimates rather than absolute laboratory measurements.

We periodically review Cookometry's calculators, reference information, and ingredient data as the site grows. If you notice a conversion that appears incorrect or have a suggestion for improving a tool, please contact us.
