Assumptions used

What this answer assumes

Best for recipe liquids, batch notes, kitchen worksheets and quick US-to-metric liquid-volume conversions. Use ingredient-density tools when mass and volume are mixed.

  • The converter uses US customary liquid-volume units for cups, pints, tablespoons, teaspoons, fluid ounces, quarts and gallons.
  • One US cup is treated as 8 US fluid ounces, or 236.5882365 millilitres.
  • One US tablespoon is treated as 0.5 US fluid ounces, or 14.78676478125 millilitres.
  • One US pint is treated as 2 US cups, and one US tablespoon is treated as 3 US teaspoons.
  • This page converts liquid volume only. It does not convert ingredient weight to volume because grams-to-cups depends on ingredient density.

Master’s Tip

How to use the result well

Master’s Tip: keep the system visible. US cups, imperial gallons and ingredient-density conversions are not interchangeable, so print the unit basis beside any recipe or batch record.

Formula

Convert the source unit to litres first, then convert litres to the target unit. One US cup = 0.2365882365 L. One US pint = 0.473176473 L. One US fluid ounce = 0.0295735295625 L. One US tablespoon = 0.01478676478125 L. One US teaspoon = 0.00492892159375 L. One US quart = 0.946352946 L. One US gallon = 3.785411784 L.

Worked example

For 2 US cups to millilitres: 2 cups x 0.2365882365 L = 0.473176473 L, and 0.473176473 L x 1000 = 473.176473 mL.

Professional note

Master’s Tip: keep the system visible. US cups, imperial gallons and ingredient-density conversions are not interchangeable, so print the unit basis beside any recipe or batch record.

Regional and unit assumptions

Standard or basis: US customary liquid volume, SI litre and millilitre scaling. This is a liquid-volume worksheet, not a food-density, nutrition, lab or trade-certified measuring instrument.

Standard or basis

Standard or basis: US customary liquid volume, SI litre and millilitre scaling. This is a liquid-volume worksheet, not a food-density, nutrition, lab or trade-certified measuring instrument.

Where a calculator follows a named legal, trade or industry standard, that standard is cited visibly. Otherwise the page uses transparent general arithmetic and states its limits.

Questions

Why use one Cooking & Volume Converter instead of separate cup-to-millilitre pages?

Cups, pints, tablespoons, teaspoons, fluid ounces, millilitres, litres, quarts and US gallons belong to one small liquid-volume family. One page lets users change direction without spreading crawl value across duplicate one-direction URLs.

Which volume units are covered?

This survivor page covers US cups, US pints, US tablespoons, US teaspoons, US fluid ounces, millilitres, litres, US quarts and US gallons.

Does this convert grams to cups?

No. Grams-to-cups depends on the ingredient density, so it needs a separate ingredient-density converter instead of a plain liquid-volume converter.

How many millilitres are in a US cup?

One US cup is 236.5882365 millilitres.

What should I print for a recipe conversion record?

Print the source value, source unit, target unit, result, US-liquid-volume basis, page/date context and any notes about recipe scaling or rounding.

Calculation note

Cooking-volume conversion is useful because recipes, labels and measuring tools often use different systems. A single survivor page keeps the US-liquid basis, SI cross-check and printable record together.

US cooking volumes use a connected liquid family

US cups, tablespoons, fluid ounces, quarts and gallons are related through liquid-volume definitions. Keeping them on one page makes the direction reversible.

Metric recipes usually use millilitres and litres

Millilitres and litres scale by powers of ten, so they are convenient for recipe scaling, batch notes and nutrition labels.

Mass-to-volume needs ingredient density

Flour, water, sugar and oil do not share the same grams-per-cup value. The liquid-volume survivor deliberately avoids pretending ingredient-density conversions are the same problem.
