measure twice, cook once
About Us
A free, no-account kitchen converter built and maintained to be accurate, fast, and clutter-free.
My Kitchen Conversion exists to solve one recurring, specific problem: recipes and kitchens speak different measurement languages. A recipe written in cups meets a scale that only reads grams. An oven dial calibrated in Fahrenheit meets a recipe written in Celsius and gas marks. A recipe built for four people meets a table of ten. I built this site because the conversion tools I found elsewhere were cluttered with pop-ups, required creating an account, or buried the one number I needed under unrelated content — so I built the tool I actually wanted to use.
How the numbers are checked
Every conversion factor on this site is built from standard, publicly documented references rather than guesswork: the US customary-to-metric equivalents published by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), volume-to-weight figures cross-checked against widely used baking references such as King Arthur Baking's ingredient weight charts, and standard oven gas-mark tables used throughout the UK and Australia. Where an ingredient's density genuinely varies (flour scooped versus spooned, for example), the site says so explicitly rather than presenting a false-precision number.
What the site does — and doesn't do
- Converts volume, weight, temperature, and length instantly, in the browser, without sending your input to a server.
- Scales an entire pasted recipe by a multiplier or by target serving size, including fractional quantities written the way cooks actually write them ("1/2 tsp," not just "0.5 tsp").
- Provides quick-reference charts for the numbers people look up most often: butter measurements, egg sizes, pan substitutions, and oven temperatures.
- Does not require sign-up, an account, or any personal information to use any feature.
I'm not a professional food scientist, and I don't present this site as a substitute for a kitchen scale or a recipe developer's testing. What I bring is a cook's daily familiarity with exactly where these conversions go wrong, paired with a commitment to sourcing every number from a citable standard and correcting anything that's reported as inaccurate.
The site is actively maintained. If a conversion looks off, a chart is missing, or a feature would make your time in the kitchen easier, I want to hear about it — see the Contact page for how to reach me.
