Included in Free plan This feature is included in the free version of Souschef. Not everyone cooks in the same units — and that’s perfectly fine! Souschef lets you convert ingredient measurements on the fly so you can cook in whatever units feel most natural to you. Found a great recipe from a UK food blog that uses grams? No problem. Following an American recipe but you only own a kitchen scale? Souschef has you covered. Shared recipe links also let viewers switch between supported measurement systems (Metric, US Customary, and more) in the browser.

2

3

Set your preference and apply

Turn on Show recipes in original units if you want to keep each recipe in the units it was imported with.
Conversions are calculated based on standard cooking measurements. For the most accurate results with dry ingredients like flour or cocoa powder, a kitchen scale is always your best bet — volume measurements can vary depending on how tightly packed the ingredient is.
This feature is especially handy when following a recipe from another country — just switch to your preferred units and cook with confidence, no mental arithmetic required.
