🍳 Cooking & Measurements

What's the difference between US cups and metric cups?

This is a common source of confusion in international cooking!

  • US Cup: 240ml (8 fluid ounces)
  • Metric Cup: 250ml
  • Imperial Cup (UK): 284ml
Our Default: Easy Measure Chef uses the US standard (240ml) as it's most common in online recipes. This ensures compatibility with the majority of recipes you'll find.

Why does 1 cup of flour weigh different amounts?

Great question! Flour weight can vary significantly based on several factors:

  • Packing method: Scooped flour is denser than spooned flour
  • Flour type: All-purpose, bread, cake flour all have different densities
  • Humidity: Moisture content affects weight
  • Sifting: Sifted flour is much lighter

🎯 Professional Tip:

For consistent baking results, professional bakers always weigh ingredients. Our converter uses the standard 125g per cup for all-purpose flour, but investing in a kitchen scale will give you the best results.

Do I need to adjust measurements for high altitude?

Yes, high altitude (above 3,000 feet) affects baking and cooking measurements:

  • Liquids evaporate faster - may need to increase liquid ingredients
  • Lower air pressure - affects rising agents like baking powder
  • Faster cooking times - foods cook quicker

Our converter provides standard sea-level measurements. For high-altitude adjustments, start with our accurate base measurements, then make adjustments based on your location and experience.
