About CookSubs

CookSubs converts common baking ingredients between cups and grams, and lists real substitutes with exact ratios when you're out of something.

Where the numbers come from

Ingredient weights (grams per cup) follow the standard values commonly published by professional baking references, using the spoon-and-level measuring method unless noted otherwise. Real weight varies with how an ingredient is actually measured — packed vs. loose, sifted vs. not — so these are the widely-used reference values, not a lab measurement of your specific ingredients.

Substitution ratios are standard, widely-published cooking substitutions, not original research — the kind found in any baking reference book.

What this site doesn't do

It doesn't store what you enter, require an account, or claim to be more precise than a kitchen scale. If you need exact precision for a specific brand of ingredient, weigh it directly rather than relying on a general conversion.
