01
Convert to milliliters
Every volume unit goes through ml as a base. 1 cup = 236.59 ml; 1 tbsp = 14.79 ml.
02
Apply density (if needed)
For volume↔weight, multiply by ingredient density (flour 0.53, sugar 0.85, butter 0.91, water 1.0, honey 1.42).
03
Convert to target unit
Final value divided by the target unit's ml-equivalent. 1 oz = 28.35 ml-density-equivalent at water's density.
