Measuring Tip
For liquids, place your measuring cup on a flat surface and read at eye level. The bottom of the meniscus (the curve at the surface) should align with the measurement line.
Understanding the Units
What is a Liter?
One liter is about 5.7% larger than a US quart (1,000 ml vs 946 ml) and about 12% smaller than a UK quart (1,000 ml vs 1,137 ml). Always convert precisely rather than treating them as interchangeable.
What is a Pound?
Pounds are the standard weight unit for buying ingredients in the US. A standard bag of flour is 5 pounds (2,268g) and a standard bag of sugar is 4 pounds (1,814g).

Weighing condensed milk on a kitchen scale is strongly recommended. Condensed milk is thick and sticky, so it clings to measuring cups and spoons, making volume measurements less reliable than for thinner liquids. If you must measure by volume, lightly oil the cup first so the condensed milk slides out cleanly.
Approximately. Sauces, syrups, and processed liquids can vary somewhat by brand and recipe. The liters to pounds result for condensed milk should be treated as a close estimate rather than an exact value.
Condensed milk is dense and sticky, so it clings to measuring cups and does not pour cleanly. Volume measurements can easily be off by 5-10% depending on how much condensed milk stays stuck to the container. A kitchen scale avoids this entirely and is the recommended way to measure sticky liquids.
