How to use the equivalents
Choose volume to compare liquids. One litre equals 1000 millilitres. Cups and spoons use the sizes shown in this table.
1 metric cup = 250 ml = 50 metric teaspoons.
1 US cup ≈ 236.5882 ml; it is not the same as a metric cup.
Choose weight to compare masses. One kilogram equals 1000 grams and one pound equals 16 ounces. These are weight ounces, not fluid ounces.
