About the units

Millilitres. A millilitre is one thousandth of a litre and therefore exactly one cubic centimetre. The SI Brochure treats the litre as a historical name for the cubic decimetre, and the millilitre is a legal unit across the EU and the measure for medicine doses, drinks and cosmetics. US nutrition labelling rules set a teaspoon at 5 millilitres, a tablespoon at 15 and a cup at 240. The old abbreviation “cc” means the same thing but is deprecated. For medicines a spoon should never replace millilitres, because spoon sizes vary between countries.

US cups. A US cup is eight fluid ounces, one sixteenth of a gallon, which works out at exactly 236.5882365 millilitres. US nutrition labelling rules instead use a rounded statutory figure of 240 millilitres. The cup is the American recipe measure, and in the EU it may appear only as a supplementary indication. A cup is just under 2.4 decilitres, not 2.5, which is the commonest mistranslation in recipes. Two figures are therefore in circulation for the same measure, 236.6 and 240 millilitres.
