Measurement Conversions for Recipes

Sometimes you find a great recipe but it usesmeasurements that are not familiar to you, such as listing mL instead of cups.Whether they are metric, imperial, or gas mark, conversion tables come in handy when this situation arises, helping you create whatever recipe you wish to try.

Recipes require that the ingredients are measured accurately; it is a good idea to have a kitchen scale and set of complete measuring cups on hand when baking.

U.S. Liquid Cups to mL

Before you begin converting, it is important to acknowledge that U.S. liquid cups are different from U.S. dry cup measurements. When measuring dry ingredients, such as flour, you need to use a dry measuring cup; besides that, it is sometimes impossible to level off the ingredient in a liquid measuring cup, the measurement is much more accurate in the dry cup. The reverse is also true.

While dry cups convert to grams and ounces, liquid cups directly convert to metric milliliters (mL) and liters.

• 1/4 cup = 60 mL
• 1/3 cup = 70 mL
• 1/2 cup = 125 mL
• 2/3 cup = 150 mL
• 3/4 cup = 175 mL
• 1 cup = 250 mL
• 1 1/2 cups = 375 mL
• 2 cups = 500 mL
• 4 cups = 1 liter

Although the difference is slight, keep in mind that recipes from the UK have different measurements for cups.
