Frequently Asked Questions

How many grams in 1 cup of milk?

How many grams in a tablespoon of milk?

Why does milk weigh more (or less) than water?

Its density differs from water's 1 g/mL: 1 cup of milk weighs 240 g versus 237 g for water. Denser liquids (honey, syrup) weigh more per cup; oils weigh less.

How many cups is 100 g of milk?

Should I weigh or measure by volume?

Weighing is more accurate - volume measures vary with how you scoop, pack, and level, and brands differ by 5-15%. For cookies and cakes where ratios matter, grams are the professional standard. The tables here convert either direction.
