How to double or halve a recipe
To double a recipe, multiply every amount by 2. To cut a recipe in half, divide every amount by 2. The hard part is measuring the result: half of ¾ cup is 6 tablespoons, and half of ⅓ cup is 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons.
This chart gives amounts you can measure with standard cups and spoons. The converter above rounds the same way.
| Recipe says | Half | Double |
|---|---|---|
| 1 cup | ½ cup | 2 cups |
| ¾ cup | 6 tbsp | 1½ cups |
| ⅔ cup | ⅓ cup | 1⅓ cups |
| ½ cup | ¼ cup | 1 cup |
| ⅓ cup | 2 tbsp + 2 tsp | ⅔ cup |
| ¼ cup | 2 tbsp | ½ cup |
| 1 tbsp | 1½ tsp | 2 tbsp |
| 1 tsp | ½ tsp | 2 tsp |
| ½ tsp | ¼ tsp | 1 tsp |
| ¼ tsp | ⅛ tsp | ½ tsp |
What to adjust by hand
Math scales the amounts. A few things still need a cook’s judgment when you make a much bigger or smaller batch.
Eggs
Pan size and baking time
Salt, spices and heat

Cups to grams for baking staples
In Metric, the converter turns cups of these ingredients into grams. A cup of flour and a cup of sugar weigh different amounts, so each ingredient has its own number.

Frequently asked questions
This converter uses 240 ml, the US cup used on nutrition labels. A US customary cup is 236.6 ml, so the difference is under 2%. Australian, New Zealand and Canadian recipes often use a 250 ml metric cup. Older British recipes may use an imperial cup of about 284 ml.
Half of ⅓ cup is 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons. Half of ¾ cup is 6 tablespoons, and half of ¼ cup is 2 tablespoons. The halving chart on this page lists the other common measures.
No. If you bake the doubled batter in two pans of the original size, the time stays close to the original. In one larger, deeper pan it takes longer, so check early and use the doneness test in the recipe.
16 tablespoons are in 1 cup, and 3 teaspoons are in 1 tablespoon. So ¼ cup is 4 tablespoons and ⅓ cup is 5 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon.
A cup measures volume, and what it weighs depends on the ingredient. For flour, sugar, brown sugar, powdered sugar, butter, rolled oats, cocoa, chocolate chips, almond flour and cornstarch, the converter uses the weights in the chart on this page, so 1 cup of all-purpose flour becomes 120 g. Liquids and other ingredients convert to milliliters.
Yes. Paste a line such as “Bake at 350°F” and choose Metric, or paste “180°C” and choose US. Temperatures are rounded to the nearest 5 degrees, because most ovens are set in steps of 5 or 10.
It only scales the amounts. Units change only when a result passes a natural step, for example 3 teaspoons become 1 tablespoon and 16 ounces become 1 pound.
No. The converter runs in your browser. The ingredients you paste are not uploaded or saved.
Lines that start with an amount, such as “2 cups flour”, “1 1/2 tsp salt”, “½ cup milk” or “2-3 cloves garlic”. Lines without an amount at the start, like “salt to taste”, stay as they are.
