How the ML to Cups Converter Works
Cooking measurements are all volumes, so converting between them is straightforward once everything is in the same unit. This converter turns your amount into millilitres, then into the unit you want — handling teaspoons, tablespoons, cups, fluid ounces, millilitres, pints, quarts and litres in any combination.
US customary units are used here: 1 cup is 16 tablespoons, 1 tablespoon is 3 teaspoons, and 1 cup is about 237 ml. Dry ingredients measured by weight (like flour in grams) depend on the ingredient — for those, use a grams-to-cups converter.
1 cup = 16 tbsp = 48 tsp ≈ 237 ml
