This beans conversion calculator provides measurement conversions between cooked and dried, cups, ounces, grams, and cans. It also converts between the volumes and weights of dried and cooked (canned) beans. This calculator requires JavaScript enabled in your browser, so if all you’re seeing is a blank screen, use this website to check if it’s enabled.
For dried beans, I recommend a 1:4 ratio of beans to water (by volume) for cooking on the stove-top, and a 1:3 ratio for cooking in the Instant Pot.
NOTE: I am working on improving the cans measurements, so please don’t use the conversions to and from cans at the moment. Everything else is fully functional!
How to Use this Beans Conversion Calculator
Simply enter a number into the Input box, select the measurement you are using, and the program will automatically calculate converted values.
Note: US imperial system is used for these measurements (ie. 1 cup = 237 mL, 1 can = 15 oz). Data from USDA FoodData Central where possible, or else from my personal experience.
