Understanding Milk Conversions
The Math Behind This Conversion
To convert 1 ounces of milk to grams, multiply by 28.3495 (the number of grams per ounce). So 1oz × 28.3495 = 28.3g.
Measurement Tip
For room-temperature recipes, let milk sit out for 15-20 minutes before measuring. Cold milk is slightly denser than room-temperature milk, which can affect very precise recipes. Our density of 1.03 g/ml is based on refrigerated milk.

Frequently Asked Questions
1 ounce of milk weighs approximately 28 gram. This is based on a density of 1.03 g/ml for milk.
Milk should be measured in a liquid measuring cup. Let refrigerated dairy come to room temperature for accurate baking results.
Weighing milk gives more consistent results than volume measurements. A cup of milk can vary by 10-20% depending on how it's measured (spooned vs scooped). Professional bakers always weigh ingredients for this reason.
Milk has a density of 1.03 g/ml, meaning each milliliter weighs 1.03 grams. Different ingredients have different densities—for example, flour is lighter than sugar—which is why each needs its own conversion factor.
