Measuring Tip
Liquid densities vary: oils weigh less per cup than water, while syrups and honey weigh more. This is why ingredient-specific conversions matter even for liquids.
Understanding the Units
What is a Cup?
In US cooking, a cup measures volume, not weight. One standard US cup holds 236.588 ml of liquid. Because different ingredients have different densities, a cup of one ingredient can weigh very differently from a cup of another.
What is an Ounce?
Weight ounces and fluid ounces are different measurements. A fluid ounce measures volume (29.574 ml), while an ounce measures weight (28.35g). They only align for water, where 1 fl oz weighs approximately 1 oz.

The most accurate way is to weigh coconut milk on a kitchen scale. If you are measuring by volume, use a liquid measuring cup on a flat surface and read the level at eye height. Liquids settle naturally, so volume measurements are already quite consistent.
Approximately. Sauces, syrups, and processed liquids can vary somewhat by brand and recipe. The cups to ounces result for coconut milk should be treated as a close estimate rather than an exact value.
For liquids like coconut milk, volume measurements are already quite accurate since liquids settle to a consistent level. A kitchen scale adds precision but the difference is typically small for liquid ingredients.
