## Kitchen Math, Solved

AiLoveKit's **cooking calculator** removes the two most common bits of recipe math: unit juggling (cups to tablespoons, milliliters to ounces) and portion scaling for a crowd or for meal prep.

## Two Tools, One Page

- **Kitchen converter** - nine volume units and four weight units with an all-units comparison table for every conversion.

- **Recipe scaler** - paste your ingredient list, set the factor, and every quantity is rescaled automatically, fractions included.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**Which cup standard is used?**

The US customary cup (236.6 mL), the standard in most online recipes. 1 cup = 16 tablespoons = 48 teaspoons = 8 fluid ounces.

**How does the recipe scaler work?**

Paste one ingredient per line with the quantity first, e.g. "2 cups flour" or "1/2 tsp salt". Every recognized quantity is multiplied by your factor; lines without quantities are kept unchanged and flagged.

**Can it convert grams to cups?**

Volume-to-weight conversions depend on the ingredient’s density, so this tool converts within volume units and within weight units separately - the honest way to keep recipes accurate.

**Do fractions work?**

Yes - "1/2", "3/4" and decimals like "1.5" are all recognized and scaled.
