Essential Guide to Recipe Conversions

Our mission is to support chefs around the globe in recreating Dinogo’s signature dishes.

All recipes on Dinogo.com use volume-based measurements for ingredients. To switch to metric units, simply click the 'Metric' button under the Servings section and press 'Adjust'.

What’s in a Name?

What many cooks may not realize is that "standard" measurements—such as cups, teaspoons, and quarts—can vary by country. For example, one cup in the United States is different from one cup in the United Kingdom or Australia and New Zealand.

• In the U.S., one cup (8 fluid ounces) = 237 milliliters
• In the U.K., one cup = 227 milliliters, or .96 U.S. cups
• In Australia, one cup = 250 milliliters

(Keep in mind that an Imperial Pint equals 2.5 Imperial Cups, while a U.S. pint is only 2 cups.)

Volume vs. Weight

The phrase 'A pint's a pound, the world around' may apply to water, but it doesn’t hold for every ingredient. A cup of flour, sugar, butter, or salt all have different weights.
