How do you convert cups to millilitres and tablespoons?
Cooking conversions use US customary volumes: 1 cup = 236.6 ml, 1 tablespoon = 14.79 ml and 1 teaspoon = 4.93 ml. For example, 2 cups equals about 473 ml, 32 tablespoons or 96 teaspoons. These are volume conversions; turning a volume into a weight like grams depends on the ingredient's density.
