Cooking conversions: cups to grams, printable chart
What a cup, tablespoon and teaspoon of each baking staple weigh, on one page. Good for the inside of a cupboard door, baking classes and recipe swaps.
Every number on the sheet is computed from the same data as the rest of the site, and the sheet ends with its source and the address of this page, so a printed copy can be traced back. Free to print, share and pin; please keep the footer.
