3 Cups of Milk in Grams
3 cups of milk (whole) weighs 735 grams (about 25.9 oz), based on 245 g per US cup (1 US cup = 240 ml). That's the same as 48 tablespoons of milk (whole). When a recipe's outcome depends on accuracy — especially baking — weigh it instead of measuring by cup.
3 cups is batch territory — a cup-measuring error is multiplied three times over, which for milk (whole) is the difference between 735 g and something noticeably off. Weigh it if you can.
