Cook in your preferred units

Whether you think in grams or ounces, milliliters or cups, PasteAndTaste now lets you toggle between metric and imperial measurements instantly. No more mental math while you're elbow-deep in flour.

How to use it

On any recipe page, look for the unit toggle button next to the Ingredients heading. Click it to switch between metric and imperial measurements. All ingredient quantities will update instantly — including the ones in the directions text, where temperatures are also converted (°C to °F and vice versa).

Smart conversion

Our conversion isn't just a simple multiplication. We round to practical cooking measurements — you won't see "14.1748 grams" when "14g" makes more sense. The system understands common cooking units and converts between them intelligently:

  • grams ↔ ounces
  • kilograms ↔ pounds
  • milliliters ↔ fluid ounces
  • liters ↔ cups
  • °C ↔ °F in directions

Remembers your preference

Set your preferred unit system in your profile preferences, and every recipe will default to your chosen system. You can still toggle on individual recipes whenever you need to.

Unit conversion is available to all Premium subscribers as part of the Resident Chef and Master Chef plans.
