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 Milliliter?
Most kitchen measuring cups outside the US are marked in milliliters. A standard metric cup is 250 ml. When converting American recipes, 1 US cup = 236.588 ml.
What is a Gram?
Weighing ingredients in grams eliminates the variability of volume measurements. A cup of flour can weigh anywhere from 120g to 160g depending on how it was scooped, but 120g of flour is always 120g of flour.
Frequently Asked Questions
1 milliliter of molasses equals 1.44 g. The result scales proportionally for other amounts - choose an amount below or enter any quantity in the calculator.
Weighing molasses on a kitchen scale is strongly recommended. Molasses 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 molasses slides out cleanly.
Approximately. Sauces, syrups, and processed liquids can vary somewhat by brand and recipe. The milliliters to grams result for molasses should be treated as a close estimate rather than an exact value.
Molasses 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 molasses stays stuck to the container. A kitchen scale avoids this entirely and is the recommended way to measure sticky liquids.
