Summary

Sweetened condensed milk is thicker and denser than regular milk, so a standard liquid-to-weight assumption gets the gram amount wrong. This converter uses the commonly cited density of 306 grams per US cup to switch between cups, tablespoons, teaspoons, grams, and ounces, and lines the result up against a standard 14 oz can so you know how much of a can a recipe actually needs.
