Milliliters to Ounces by Ingredient
Milliliters to weight ounces converts precise metric volumes to US weight. This comes up when a metric recipe gives a small liquid amount in ml and your scale reads in ounces, or when translating between pharmaceutical/scientific measurements (always ml) and cooking measurements (often ounces in the US). For example, 1 milliliter of olive oil is 0.03 oz, while 1 milliliter of honey is 0.05 oz. Choose your ingredient below.
Liquids
Most cooking liquids are close to the weight of water, but syrups and honey are much heavier. Oil is lighter than water.
