Vegetable Oil
US Cup to Milliliter
Understanding Vegetable Oil Conversions
The Math Behind This Conversion
Converting 1 us cup to milliliter is a direct volume conversion. One us cup equals 236.59ml, and one milliliter equals 1ml. So 1 us cup (236.59ml) equals 236.6 milliliter.
Measurement Tip
Measure vegetable oil in a liquid measuring cup (the kind with a spout) placed on a flat surface. Read the measurement at eye level, looking at the bottom of the meniscus (the curved surface of the liquid). For sticky liquids like honey, lightly coat the measuring cup with oil first to help it slide out easily.
