Frequently Asked Questions

About Millilitre and Fluid Ounce

Millilitre

The millilitre (mL) is one-thousandth of a litre and the SI unit of liquid volume most commonly used in cooking, medicine, and food labelling. 1 mL of water at 4°C weighs exactly 1 gram.

mL is universal in food nutrition labels, liquid medicine dosing, and scientific cooking (molecular gastronomy). 1 US teaspoon ≈ 5 mL; 1 tablespoon ≈ 15 mL; 1 US cup ≈ 237 mL; 1 US fl oz ≈ 30 mL.

Interesting fact: The 1 mL = 1 g (for water) relationship makes the metric system exceptionally convenient for baking: 100 mL of water = 100 g = the same cup-to-gram conversion for any liquid with water-like density.

Fluid Ounce

The US fluid ounce (fl oz) is defined as exactly 29.5735 mL (1/128 US gallon). It is used in American recipes, bartending, and beverage labelling. The Imperial fluid ounce (28.41 mL) is slightly smaller.

US fl oz appears on all American food and beverage labels. Common measures: 1 shot = 1.5 fl oz (44 mL); standard beer = 12 fl oz (355 mL); wine pour = 5 fl oz (148 mL); US cup = 8 fl oz.

Interesting fact: The US and UK fluid ounces are defined differently: 1 US fl oz = 29.574 mL; 1 UK fl oz = 28.413 mL. A US pint (16 fl oz) ≠ UK pint (20 fl oz). This causes significant confusion in cocktail recipes shared between countries.

About Millilitre to Fluid Ounce Conversion

The US cup chain: 1 cup = 16 tbsp = 48 tsp = 8 fl oz = 236.6 ml = ½ pint. Note: metric cups (Australia) = 250 ml; UK tablespoon = 17.76 ml vs US 14.79 ml. Always check which measurement system a recipe uses.
