Measurely is an independent website: Kitchen and everyday conversions, with each region's own standards side by side.
A recipe that says “1 cup” can mean 180, 200, 236.6 or 250 millilitres depending on where it was written, and a “catty” at the market is 600 g in Taiwan but 500 g in mainland China. We built Measurely for home cooks, bakers and shoppers who follow recipes and prices from more than one place and want a number they can trust.
What we publish
- Converters for cups, spoons and grams, for volume units across regional standards, and for scaling a recipe to a different cake pan. Every result names the standard it was calculated with.
- Ingredient pages showing how much a cup of a common ingredient weighs in each regional cup, together with the measuring method the figure assumes.
- Reference guides comparing cup sizes, spoon sizes, and the catty and tael as used in Taiwan, Hong Kong and mainland China.
How we check information
Unit definitions come from official sources: NIST for US customary units, UK legislation for imperial units, Taiwan’s Bureau of Standards, Metrology and Inspection and National Measurement Laboratory for the Taiwan catty and tael, and the Hong Kong Weights and Measures Ordinance for the Hong Kong catty. The Japanese 200 mL cup is cited from Kagawa Nutrition University, which introduced it. Ingredient weights per cup come from USDA FoodData Central and are cross-checked against King Arthur Baking’s ingredient weight chart; where the two disagree we show the range and say which measuring method the headline figure assumes. Every page lists the sources it uses, and the short answer at the top of each page is built from the same figures as the tables below it.
