Cookware and kitchen conversion sources

Where every figure on this site comes from: each maker’s own product and care pages for the cookware, USDA’s food data for the cup weights, and NIST for the units. When a maker doesn’t publish a figure, we leave it blank rather than guess. Oven limits and other ratings are the maker’s own; we don’t test pans ourselves.

Cookware models

The catalog holds 92 sets and 180 single pans sold in the US. Under each one are the maker’s pages its figures come from, and what each page tells us. We don’t track prices or stock.

Ingredient cup weights

The 86 ingredients below come from 72 foods in USDA’s FoodData Central (SR Legacy, its final release). Each row shows the amount USDA weighed, such as 1 cup, beside its weight in grams. Your own cup can weigh a little more or less, depending on how you fill it.
