Ingredient questions

Water / milk FAQ.

How many grams are in a cup of water / milk?

This page uses 227g per US cup as the PantryGauge reference. The named ingredient and measurement basis matter, so do not reuse the figure for a different product state.

How should water / milk be measured?

Pour into a liquid measure and read the level at eye height. When a recipe gives grams, weighing remains the more repeatable option.

Can I use this water / milk conversion for another type?

Use caution. Evaporated milk, cream, and other liquids have different chart entries. Check the recipe's exact ingredient and, when available, its product-specific weight reference.
