Some recipes are by weight, others are by cups or volume. Cupify converts from one to the other. Pick the ingredient and scroll for instant conversion. Ideal if you prefer recipes in cups. A lifesaver if you don't have weighing scales. INGREDIENTS BUILT-IN Includes conversion tables by the USDA National Nutrient Database for most common ingredients. INSTANT TWO-WAY CONVERSION Drag to view the volume in cups, milliliters, and fluid ounces (US or imperial) and the equivalent weight in grams, pounds and ounces for the ingredient selected. CUSTOMIZABLE UNITS Did you know that different cup sizes are used in the US, Europe, and the UK? Or that fluid ounces differ between the US and the UK? Choose the standard that applies to you. NO ADS Converting ingredients to volume units isn't new. Measuring jugs with weight marks for flour, sugar and other basics are commonplace. Cupify expands on this idea, so you can skip the weighing.
