Cooking shouldn't require a math degree. But between American recipes using cups and ounces, European recipes using grams and milliliters, and oven temperatures that could be in Celsius, Fahrenheit, or Gas Mark — it sometimes feels like it does. These three tools keep your focus on the food, not the arithmetic.

Cooking Unit Converter

You've found an amazing banana bread recipe online, but it calls for 2 cups of flour and you only have a kitchen scale. How many grams is that? The cooking unit converter handles it. Cups to grams, ounces to milliliters, tablespoons to teaspoons — all the conversions you actually need in the kitchen.

It's not just weight and volume either. The tool covers temperature, common ingredient-specific conversions (because a cup of flour weighs differently than a cup of sugar), and the various spoon sizes that vary between countries. If you've ever stood in your kitchen with a phone in one hand and a measuring cup in the other, wondering how many tablespoons are in a third of a cup, this tool exists for exactly that moment.

Recipe Scaler

The recipe serves 4, but you're cooking for 7. Or you found a restaurant recipe that makes 50 portions and you need it for 2. The recipe scaler adjusts every ingredient proportionally. Enter your ingredient list, set the original serving count and desired serving count, and every quantity updates instantly.

It handles fractions well, too. If you're scaling down and an ingredient becomes 0.33 cups, the tool shows you that's roughly ⅓ cup so you're not measuring out decimal fractions in your kitchen. It works for any recipe — baking, cooking, cocktails, anything with proportional ingredients.

Oven Temperature Converter

Your British recipe says "Gas Mark 6." Your American recipe says 375°F. Your German oven is in Celsius. The oven temperature converter translates between all three instantly. Enter a temperature in any unit and see the equivalent in the other two.

It also includes common temperature presets — "low and slow" for braising, moderate for baking, high for roasting — so you can quickly find the right setting without memorizing conversion formulas. If you cook from international recipes regularly, you'll use this tool weekly.

All three tools run in your browser with no login required. Keep them bookmarked for next time you're mid-recipe and need a quick conversion.
