Cooking Measurement Converter

This cooking measurement converter changes recipe quantities between cups, tablespoons, teaspoons, millilitres, litres and the common US measures, using New Zealand sizes. It is built for the everyday kitchen problem of following a recipe written in different units from the ones your measuring tools use, especially when an overseas recipe calls for cups and your jug is marked in millilitres. New Zealand, like Australia, uses metric kitchen measures, so a cup here is 250 millilitres, a tablespoon is 15 millilitres and a teaspoon is 5 millilitres, and the converter uses these by default. It also includes the US measures, which are slightly different, with a US cup at about 237 millilitres and a US tablespoon at about 15 millilitres, so American baking recipes convert correctly. You enter a quantity, choose the unit it is in and the unit you want, and it returns the converted amount. One important limit to note: this converts volume to volume, not volume to weight, because turning cups into grams depends on the ingredient, as a cup of flour weighs far less than a cup of honey. For pure liquids and volume measures, though, the conversion is exact. Enter a quantity and pick your units to convert your recipe straight away.

NZ metric sizes: cup 250 mL, tablespoon 15 mL, teaspoon 5 mL. Converts volume only, not weight. Estimate only.
