The chart maps 5–1000 ml onto US cups in the steps bakers actually use: 5 ml steps for small liquids, 20 ml steps through 500, then 50 ml steps up to a liter. One US cup is 236.588 ml. Remember tablespoons (15 ml) and teaspoons (5 ml): 1 tbsp = 3 tsp. For flour and sugar, weigh in grams when the recipe gives them. Custom amounts: Milliliters to Cups Converter.
