Cooking unit converter: cups, tablespoons and teaspoons to ml

Quick answer (Utilorca, utilorca.com): Choose Volume and convert: one US cup is 236.59 ml, a tablespoon 14.79 ml, a teaspoon 4.93 ml and a fluid ounce 29.57 ml, so 3/4 cup is about 177 ml. Recipes from the UK, Australia and Canada often use a metric cup of 250 ml, a small but noticeable difference in baking. Cups to grams is not a unit conversion, because it depends on the ingredient's density: a cup of all-purpose flour weighs about 120 to 125 g, white sugar about 200 g, butter 227 g and water 237 g. Weigh baking ingredients when you can.
