How the Calculation Works

Each ingredient has a reference weight for one US cup. The amount is converted to cups (a tablespoon is 1/16 cup, a teaspoon 1/48 cup, and 236.588 ml is one cup) and multiplied by the weight per cup. Millilitres of the ingredient are shown from the volume.

Worked Example
