Recipes use different weight units depending on where they were written. A baking recipe may list flour in grams, an American recipe may use ounces, and a bulk ingredient may be labelled in pounds or kilograms. This converter gives you a quick way to move between those units without changing the ingredient itself.
The tool supports milligrams, grams, kilograms, ounces, pounds and stone. Weight-to-weight conversion does not depend on ingredient density, so the same mathematical conversion works for flour, rice, meat, vegetables or any other item measured by weight.
Kitchen Weight Converter
Convert between common kitchen weight units.
How to use the converter
- Enter the weight from your recipe or package.
- Choose the starting unit.
- Choose the unit you need.
- Convert the value.
- Use Swap when you want to reverse the conversion.
- Copy the result if you need it while cooking or shopping.
This tool is useful when a kitchen scale displays a different unit from the recipe, when you are comparing package sizes, or when you need to scale a shopping list written in another measurement system. It also helps when a recipe uses very small amounts in milligrams or larger batch quantities in kilograms and pounds.
The Kitchen Weight Converter only converts weight units. It does not convert grams to cups or tablespoons because those are volume measures and the answer changes with ingredient density. Use the Ingredient Conversion Calculator when you need to move between weight and volume.
All calculations run in your browser. The weight and units you enter are not stored or sent to the server.
