Panmetry’s own method
We check official and independent data, examine meaningful discrepancies and establish the values used for conversion.
Your ingredient and your measure
The conversion accounts for the ingredient’s form and the capacity of your cup, glass or spoon.
Both directions, one tool
Grams to cups, spoons to grams and back again — switch direction without opening another calculator.
Precision starts with the details. And with Panmetry’s own method.
We cross-check official and independent data, examine meaningful discrepancies in detail and account for what affects the conversion:the type of ingredient, its form and your chosen kitchen measure.
Behind every Panmetry answer is a check of the data, not a blindly copied table. You get a result for your chosen ingredient and measure without having to compare reference guides yourself.
The name of the sugar matters
The table distinguishes white granulated sugar from brown sugar, both packed and unpacked. Choose the sugar and filling condition named in your recipe before adjusting the amount.
Keep the selected packing condition
Use the filling condition shown for the selected sugar. A packed-cup value cannot automatically describe a loosely filled cup of the same product.
