# Cooking Calculations

### Cooking substance volume <> mass conversions

It's possible to convert between volume and mass if you know the density of the substance involved.

Soulver includes about 200 substances commonly used for cooking.

```
300g butter in cups         | 1.32 cup
10 cups olive oil in grams  | 2,160 g
100g nutella in tablespoons | 5.37 tbsp
```

### Measurement systems

Units of volume have different definitions depending on what country you're in. Soulver supports three systems of measurement:

* US Customary (the default),
* Imperial
* Metric

![Choose your preferred measurement system from the Region preferences](/files/-MjFF9mXHmZuIp9Rgn0P)

This setting affects volume units, such as pints, quarts, gallons, teaspoons, tablespoons, and fluid ounces (fl oz).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://documentation.soulver.app/syntax-reference/units-and-conversions/cooking-and-volume-calculations.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
