Cups to mL

Converting Cups to mL

1 US cup measures to about 236.6 mL (milliliters), 1 UK cup measures to about 284.1 mL, and finally 1 metric cup measures to 250 mL.

Generally you just need to multiply the number of cups by the system's mL factor. For example: 1.25 US cups to mL is: 1.25 * 236.6 = 355.16

Tips for accurate measurements

Accurate measurements in cooking, or really anwhere, can be extremely important. Here are some tips:

• Reliable scales: Be sure to use a reliable, high quality digital scale to achieve a prescise measurement. Weighing ingredients in cooking, especially baking, is pretty common - especially if you want to make sure you get your recipe correct.
• Dry ingredients: Using a spoon for ingredients like flour or sugar can be useful to fluff the ingredient. Additionally, using a knife or other straight edge to level off your ingredient can help avoid packing ingredients too densely.
• Liquid ingredients: Clear measuring cups with graduated markings are usually best for measuring liquids. Be sure that the cup is on a flat surface so as to not tilt the liquid and throw off your measurement.
