About converting cups (us) to milliliters
Cups to milliliters lets US recipes be measured with a metric jug, which is more precise than cup measures — especially for liquids.
One US cup is about 236.6 milliliters, so converting cups to milliliters means multiplying by 236.6. So 1 cup is 237 ml, 1/2 cup is 118 ml, and 2 cups is 473 ml.
Many cooks outside the US own a 250 ml metric cup, which is close but not identical to the 236.6 ml US cup. For most cooking the 13 ml difference is negligible, but in baking — where ratios matter — measuring in milliliters removes the ambiguity entirely.
- US cup ≈ 237 ml; the Australian/metric cup is 250 ml.
- For dry baking ingredients, weighing in grams is still more reliable than any cup conversion.
