Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the same cup measurement give different gram amounts?
Ingredients have different densities — a cup of flour weighs around 120 grams, a cup of granulated sugar weighs around 200 grams, and a cup of honey weighs around 340 grams. Selecting the specific ingredient ensures accurate baking weight conversions.
Can it handle fractions like "1 1/2 cups"?
Yes — the recipe scaler reads whole numbers, fractions (like 1/4, 1/3, 1/2, 2/3, 3/4), and mixed numbers (like 1 1/2), then outputs the scaled amount as clean, readable fractions whenever possible.
Does it store or log my recipe anywhere?
No. Everything runs directly inside your browser. Nothing you type or paste is saved, uploaded, or transmitted to any server.
How do I halve or double a recipe?
Open the "Scale a recipe" tab, paste your ingredients, and click the "½× (Halve)" or "2× (Double)" quick buttons. The tool calculates every line in seconds.
Can I convert sticks of butter?
Yes! Under the unit dropdown, select "sticks of butter". In the US, 1 stick equals 1/2 cup, 8 tablespoons, 4 ounces, or approximately 113.4 grams.
Can I scale down or divide recipes into smaller batches?
Yes. You can scale down by entering smaller target servings or using the "½×" button to make single or smaller batch portions.
What if an ingredient isn't in the database?
You can choose "Custom ingredient" and provide its density (grams per cup), or leave density blank to convert between volume units (cups to tablespoons) or weight units (grams to ounces).
Is this recipe calculator really free?
Yes — both the measurement converter and recipe scaler are 100% free to use with no account required, no usage limits, and no ads.
