US cups to millilitres
A US cup is 240 ml, not the 250 ml Australian cup. Here is what the difference costs you.
Millilitres (ml)
240ml
Worth knowing
An Australian cup holds 250 ml and a US cup holds 240 ml. Ten millilitres sounds like nothing until a recipe calls for four cups and you are 40 ml out — enough to loosen a batter or thin a sauce.
