What is dry volume?

Dry volume refers to the amount of space occupied by a substance that is not a liquid and does not flow freely. This is in contrast to liquid volume, which is the space occupied by liquids and other fluids. Dry volume measurements are commonly used in cooking and baking to measure ingredients like flour, sugar, grains, and other dry materials.

When measuring dry ingredients, such as flour or sugar, the volume of the ingredient is determined by how tightly it is packed into a measuring cup or spoon. For accurate results, it's important to follow specific guidelines for how to measure different dry ingredients. Some ingredients are measured by spooning them into a measuring cup and leveling it off, while others may be sifted or lightly packed.

Because the density of dry ingredients can vary significantly, converting between different units of dry volume (such as cups, tablespoons, teaspoons, etc.) may not always be straightforward. It's important to use appropriate conversion factors and be aware of the specific instructions provided in recipes to ensure accurate measurements and successful cooking or baking outcomes.

Dry volume converter to help you convert between different units of dry volume, such as those used for measuring ingredients in cooking:

From Cups to:

  • Tablespoons (tbsp): Multiply by 16
  • Teaspoons (tsp): Multiply by 48
  • Fluid Ounces (fl oz): Multiply by 8
  • Milliliters (ml): Multiply by 240

From Tablespoons (tbsp) to:

  • Cups: Divide by 16
  • Teaspoons (tsp): Multiply by 3
  • Fluid Ounces (fl oz): Divide by 2
  • Milliliters (ml): Multiply by 14.79

From Teaspoons (tsp) to:

  • Cups: Divide by 48
  • Tablespoons (tbsp): Divide by 3
  • Fluid Ounces (fl oz): Divide by 6
  • Milliliters (ml): Multiply by 4.93

From Fluid Ounces (fl oz) to:

  • Cups: Divide by 8
  • Tablespoons (tbsp): Multiply by 2
  • Teaspoons (tsp): Multiply by 6
  • Milliliters (ml): Multiply by 29.57

From Milliliters (ml) to:

  • Cups: Divide by 240
  • Tablespoons (tbsp): Divide by 14.79
  • Teaspoons (tsp): Divide by 4.93
  • Fluid Ounces (fl oz): Divide by 29.57

Please remember that these conversions are approximations and might not be precise for all dry ingredients due to their density. Always be mindful of the ingredient you're measuring and the accuracy required for your recipe.
