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 an Ounce?
An ounce (oz) is a US customary unit of weight equal to 28.3495 grams or 1/16 of a pound. In cooking, "ounces" refers to weight (avoirdupois ounces), not fluid ounces which measure volume.
What is a Fluid Ounce?
The US fluid ounce (29.574 ml) and the UK fluid ounce (28.413 ml) are different sizes. The UK version is about 4% smaller. This means a UK recipe calling for 8 fl oz gives you 227 ml, while 8 US fl oz gives you 237 ml. The difference is small per ounce but adds up in larger quantities.

Very close. Pure liquid densities are consistent across brands, so the ounces to fluid ounces conversion for light cream typically varies by less than 2-3%.
The same weight of different ingredients fills different volumes because each ingredient has a different density. An ounce of light cream fills a different number of fluid ounces than an ounce of a lighter or heavier ingredient. That is why this converter needs to know which ingredient you are measuring.
