About converting cups (us) to milliliters
US cups to milliliters lets American recipes be followed precisely with a metric measuring jug, which is more accurate for baking than cup measures.
Since one US cup is 236.588 ml, converting cups to milliliters means multiplying by about 236.6. So 1 cup is 236.6 ml, 2 cups is 473.2 ml, and 1/2 cup is 118.3 ml.
For baking, measuring by volume in cups is inherently less precise than weighing or using milliliters, because a 'cup' of flour can vary by 20% or more depending on how it is packed. Converting to milliliters (for liquids) or grams (for dry goods) is how serious bakers get consistent results.
- 1 cup ≈ 237 ml; 3/4 cup ≈ 177 ml; 1/4 cup ≈ 59 ml.
- For dry ingredients, weighing in grams beats any volume conversion for accuracy.
