About Milk (Whole)
Set a liquid jug on the counter and read the milk level at eye height. Let foam settle before reading; measure at the recipe's required stage rather than after boiling some of the water away.
The fat, sugar and acidity of different dairy or plant-based products matter beyond their cup weight. Buttermilk, sweetened condensed milk and canned coconut milk are not automatic equal-volume replacements for whole milk. The comparison chart groups fresh milk without specifying its fat content.
Tips for measuring Milk (Whole)
- Use the milk type named when the recipe depends on its composition.
- Avoid reading the level while holding the jug tilted.
Common mistakes
- Treating every product labelled milk as interchangeable in baking.
