Frequently asked questions
Why do nutrition labels say a cup is 240 mL?
FDA labeling rounds metric equivalents for readability (240 mL for a cup, 30 mL for a fluid ounce). Cooking with the exact 236.588 figure vs 240 differs by about 1.5% — invisible in almost any recipe.
Is a US pint the same as a British pint?
No — a US pint is 473 mL; an imperial pint is 568 mL (20 imperial fl oz). Beer sizes make this difference famous.
How many tablespoons in a cup?
Exactly 16. And 3 teaspoons make a tablespoon — the two ratios that unlock most recipe scaling.
