A kitchen converter that stays open while you cook
The FoxyChef kitchen converter turns the amount on a recipe card into the unit on your counter. Convert cups to grams by ingredient, tablespoons and teaspoons to milliliters, and oven temperatures between °F, °C and gas mark — with no extra tab and no network request.
Cup standards are not interchangeable. American recipes use a 240 ml US cup. Many European and Australian recipes use a 250 ml metric cup. In Ukrainian and other post-Soviet kitchens a drinking glass (склянка) is usually 200 ml. Choose the standard that matches the recipe, then choose the ingredient: 1 cup of honey is about 340 g, while 1 cup of all-purpose flour is 120 g.
Volume-to-weight figures are practical estimates for level, spooned measures. Packed brown sugar, sifted flour, or a heaped spoon will weigh more or less. Use a scale when a bake is sensitive to a few grams.
How to convert cups to grams while you cook
- Set the cup standard to match the recipe: US cup 240 ml, metric cup 250 ml, or a 200 ml glass (склянка).
- Type the amount and choose the unit printed in the recipe (cup, tbsp, tsp, ml, g, oz or fl oz).
- Select the ingredient so the converter can apply the right density for cups to grams.
- Read grams, milliliters, tablespoons and teaspoons from the result. Copy the gram weight if you are using a scale.

Keto Sweetener Conversion Ratios vs Sugar
| Keto Sweetener | Per 1 Cup Sugar | Sweetness | Baking Characteristics | Pet Safety |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Allulose (Pure Granular) | 1⅓ cups (256g) | 70% | Browns quickly; retains soft, chewy texture like real sugar. | Safe for pets. Well tolerated GI profile. |
| Erythritol (Pure Granular) | 1⅓ cups (256g) | 70% | Noticeable cooling sensation. Can recrystallize in chilled glazes. | Safe for dogs and cats. 0 net carbs, zero GI spike. |
| Monk Fruit 1:1 Blend (Lakanto style) | 1 cup (1:1) | 100% | Direct 1:1 cup-for-cup replacement. Balanced clean profile. | Safe for pets. Most popular commercial keto baking swap. |
| Swerve Granular / Confectioners | 1 cup (1:1) | 100% | Measures 1:1 like sugar. Caramelizes slightly less than sucrose. | Safe for pets (erythritol + prebiotic oligosaccharides). |
| Xylitol (Birch Sugar) | 1 cup (1:1) | 100% | Exact 1:1 sweetness, texture, and moisture retention. | ⚠️ DANGER: HIGHLY TOXIC TO DOGS. Causes rapid liver failure. |
| Pure Stevia Extract Powder (Reb-A) | ~1/4–1/3 tsp | 300x | Intense sweetness (~1/3 tsp per cup). Zero bulk; pair with almond flour. | Safe for pets. Overuse produces bitter metallic taste. |

Kitchen converter FAQ
How many grams is 1 cup of flour?
1 US cup (240 ml) of spooned, level all-purpose flour is 120 g. A 200 ml glass is 100 g. A 250 ml metric cup is 125 g. Bread flour is a little heavier (127 g per US cup); cake flour is lighter (114 g).
How many milliliters is a tablespoon? How many teaspoons in a cup?
A standard kitchen tablespoon is 15 ml and a teaspoon is 5 ml. 1 US cup = 240 ml = 16 tablespoons = 48 teaspoons. 1 metric cup = 250 ml. 1 Ukrainian glass (склянка) = 200 ml ≈ 13 tablespoons.
How do I convert oven °F to °C?
The exact formula is °C = (°F − 32) × 5/9. Typed 350°F becomes 177°C in the converter. US recipe cards conventionally print 350°F as 180°C (gas mark 4) and 400°F as 200°C (gas mark 6). Use the oven chart for those card values.
Is a Ukrainian склянка the same as a US cup?
No. A typical drinking glass (склянка) is 200 ml. A US cup is 240 ml. A metric cup is 250 ml. Pick the matching standard at the top of the converter before you convert cups to grams, or the flour, sugar and butter weights will be off by 17–25%.
Why do cups to grams change with the ingredient?
Volume-to-weight uses density. 1 US cup of water is 240 g, 1 cup of white sugar is 198 g, 1 cup of butter is 227 g, and 1 cup of honey is about 340 g. Always select the ingredient; millilitres do not need an ingredient because they already are volume.
Are these kitchen conversions exact?
They are practical estimates for home cooking with level, spooned measures. Humidity, brand, packing and a heaped spoon change the gram weight. Treat the tables as a reliable starting point and weigh when a recipe is tight on structure, like macarons or sandwich bread.
How do I convert conventional oven recipes to an air fryer?
Follow the universal air fryer rule of thumb: reduce the oven temperature by 25°F (15°C) and reduce the cooking time by 20%. For instance, an oven bake at 400°F for 25 minutes converts to 375°F for 20 minutes in an air fryer. Always check doneness 3–5 minutes early and shake the basket halfway through cooking.
How do I substitute sugar with allulose or erythritol in keto baking?
Pure allulose and pure erythritol provide roughly 70% of the sweetness of table sugar; use 1⅓ cups (1.33 cups) to replace 1 cup of sugar. Allulose browns and caramelizes beautifully while keeping cookies soft, whereas erythritol yields a crisp texture with a subtle cooling effect. Commercial 1:1 blends (like Lakanto or Swerve) replace sugar cup-for-cup.
Which keto sweetener is toxic to household pets?
Xylitol (birch sugar) is extremely toxic to dogs and causes acute, life-threatening hypoglycemia and severe liver damage even in small amounts. In households with dogs or cats, strictly choose pet-safe alternatives such as erythritol, allulose, pure monk fruit, or stevia.
