What many cooks may not know is that "standard" measurements--cups,
teaspoons, quarts--differ between countries. One cup in the United
States is different than one cup in the United Kingdom or in Australia
and New Zealand.
- In the U.S., one cup (8 fluid ounces) = 237 milliliters
- In the U.K., one cup = 227 milliliters, or .96 U.S. cups
- In Australia, one cup = 250 milliliters
(Note that an Imperial Pint = 2.5 Imperial Cups, while in the U.S., a pint is only 2 cups).
