Question 1

What is a baking converter?

Accepted Answer

A baking converter turns cups, tablespoons, and teaspoons into grams/ounces and scales a recipe to any serving size.

Question 2

Why convert cups to grams?

Accepted Answer

Ingredient density varies; weighing in grams is more consistent and improves results, especially for flour and sugar.

Question 3

Are US cups and metric cups the same?

Accepted Answer

No. A US cup is ~236.588 mL; a metric cup is 250 mL. Always match the recipe’s system.

Question 4

How do I scale a recipe accurately?

Accepted Answer

Use a scale factor: new servings ÷ original servings; multiply all ingredient weights and times by that factor.

Question 5

Do pan sizes matter?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Batter depth affects bake time. When you change pan dimensions, adjust the bake time and temperature slightly.
