This table provides a comparison between metric and US Standard measurements, helping you easily convert between the two systems. It includes common kitchen measurements starting from 1/8 teaspoon up to 5 cups. For each measurement, you will find the equivalent in the metric system (assuming a metric cup is 250 milliliters) and the imperial system (where a U.S. cup is 240 milliliters). The table also provides the corresponding imperial volume in fluid ounces where applicable. Use this table to accurately convert recipes and ensure precise measurements in your cooking and baking.
