Cooking measures volume and weight differently across regions. US recipes use cups, tablespoons, and teaspoons; metric recipes use milliliters and grams. Even a "cup" varies — US legal cup is 240 ml while metric recipes may assume 250 ml.
Our cooking converters focus on US customary kitchen units and their metric equivalents. For baking, weighing ingredients in grams is often more accurate than volume — but volume conversion still helps when scaling recipes quickly.

Real-world example
A recipe needs 2 tablespoons of vanilla but your measuring spoons are marked in ml. Converting 2 tbsp gives about 29.6 ml — close enough when a scale is not available.
