About the Cups to Milliliters Conversion
The US cup is a cooking volume measure, but it is not used in most countries, where recipes rely on milliliters and grams. American recipes therefore need converting for cooks using metric measuring jugs.
Worked example: A recipe calling for 2 cups of milk needs 2 x 236.588 = 473.2 milliliters. Half a cup equals about 118 mL.
Common Uses
In practice, converting cups to milliliters comes up most often for following US recipes with a metric measuring jug, scaling batch sizes for baking, measuring liquids without cup-marked tools, and converting drink recipes.
