About Milliliter (mL)

A metric unit of volume equal to one thousandth of a liter (0.001 L) or exactly one cubic centimeter. Milliliters are the everyday metric unit for medicine dosing, cooking measurements outside the US, laboratory chemistry, perfume and beverage cans. A standard medical syringe is 10 mL; a shot glass is about 44 mL; a standard intravenous saline bag is 500 or 1,000 mL. In chemistry and pharmacy, mL and cc (cubic centimeters) are used interchangeably.

About Cup (cup)

A US customary unit of volume equal to 8 fluid ounces or about 237 milliliters. Cups are the dominant measurement unit in American home cooking and published US recipes — a standard measuring cup set includes 1, 1/2, 1/3, and 1/4 cup scoops. Outside North America, recipes typically use grams (for solids) and milliliters (for liquids), making cup→ml conversions one of the most common kitchen conversions for international cooks working from American cookbooks.
