Single-conversion pages for milk
Working with milk
Milk sits in the liquids group, where the ingredient is denser than water, so a cup weighs more than 240 g and volume errors translate into large weight errors. Whole, 2% and skim milk vary by only 1–2 g per cup, so one figure is fine for all of them.
If you are converting a whole recipe rather than a single line, the Recipe to Metric converter matches every ingredient to its own density in one pass, and the Recipe Scaler resizes the batch first so you only convert once.
Frequently asked questions
How many grams are in a cup of milk?
One US cup of milk weighs about 244 grams (8.61 oz). Whole, 2% and skim milk vary by only 1–2 g per cup, so one figure is fine for all of them.
How many grams are in a tablespoon of milk?
One US tablespoon holds about 15.3 g, and one teaspoon about 5.08 g, since a tablespoon is 14.79 ml and a teaspoon 4.93 ml.
How many cups is 100 g of milk?
100 grams of milk is roughly 0.41 US cups. Weighing is more reliable than filling a cup, especially for liquids.
Where does this figure come from?
The density used here is 1.031 g/ml, based on USDA FoodData Central. Treat it as an approximation: real batches vary with brand, moisture and how the cup is filled.
