About this app

Recipes cross borders. Measurements do not.

An American recipe says one cup of flour. A European recipe says 120 grams. They are the same amount, but only if you know what you are measuring. A cup of all-purpose flour and a cup of granulated sugar do not weigh the same, and no generic unit converter can tell you the difference.

KitchenGrams converts by ingredient, using real density values.


CONVERT BY INGREDIENT

Pick an ingredient, enter an amount, and get the weight or volume you need. Cups, tablespoons, teaspoons, fluid ounces, millilitres and litres on the volume side. Grams, kilograms, ounces and pounds on the weight side.

Because the conversion is tied to the ingredient, one cup of bread flour and one cup of brown sugar give you different answers. That is how measuring actually works, and it is why a plain unit converter falls short in a kitchen.


THE INGREDIENTS YOU ACTUALLY USE

Flour is not one ingredient. All-purpose, bread, cake, pastry, whole wheat, almond, coconut, oat, rye, semolina, spelt, buckwheat, rice and chickpea flours all weigh differently by the cup, and KitchenGrams keeps them apart.

Salt is not one ingredient either. Table salt, Morton's kosher salt and Diamond Crystal kosher salt differ by more than a factor of two by volume. Measure a tablespoon of the wrong one and the dish changes.

The built-in list covers flours and starches, sugars and syrups, dairy, fats and oils, nuts, seeds and nut butters, grains and oats, leaveners and spices, cocoa and chocolate, and common fruit and vegetable preparations.


ADD YOUR OWN

The ingredient you need is the one that is never in the list. Add it yourself.

Enter a name and how much one cup weighs in grams, and it becomes a permanent part of your list. Your regional flour, your brand of yogurt, the spice blend you mix at home, the sourdough starter at your hydration. Your additions stay through app updates.

Mark the ingredients you reach for most as favourites and they stay at the top.


SCALE A RECIPE

Change the serving count and every quantity moves with it. Halve a loaf, double a batch of cookies, or resize a recipe written for a pan you do not own.


OVEN AND PAN REFERENCE

Fahrenheit to Celsius, gas marks, and pan size equivalents for round, square and loaf tins.


BUILT TO WORK ANYWHERE

Every conversion runs on the device. No account, no sign-in, no connection required while you cook. Nothing you enter leaves your phone.

No sensitive permissions are requested. The app does not read your files, contacts, location or photos.


WHERE THE NUMBERS COME FROM

Ingredient weights are taken from published reference data rather than estimated. Density is stored per millilitre, so conversions stay correct across US customary, metric and imperial measures instead of assuming one definition of a cup.

When an ingredient is missing from the list, the app tells you rather than guessing. A conversion you cannot trust is worse than no conversion at all, because you will act on it.


WHO IT IS FOR

Home bakers following recipes from another country. Cooks working from a handwritten family recipe in old measures. Anyone with a kitchen scale and a recipe that assumes they do not have one.

What’s new

First release. Convert cups to grams by ingredient, using real density values. Flours, sugars, dairy, fats, nuts, grains, leaveners and spices are kept apart, so a cup of bread flour and a cup of brown sugar give different answers. Add your own ingredients, scale a recipe by servings, and check oven and pan equivalents. Works offline.
