How many grams are in 1 cup of evaporated milk?

One US cup of evaporated milk weighs about 252 grams (about 8.9 ounces). This reflects evaporated milk's higher density compared to regular milk, since roughly 60% of the water has been removed during processing.

How much does a standard can of evaporated milk weigh?

A standard can of evaporated milk is labeled 12 fl oz (354 mL) and holds 1.5 US cups. Using the 252 g/cup density in this tool, that works out to roughly 378 grams of evaporated milk.

Is evaporated milk the same weight as condensed milk?

No. Sweetened condensed milk has sugar added and is thicker and heavier at about 306 g per cup, while plain evaporated milk has no added sugar and is lighter at about 252 g per cup.

How many tablespoons are in 1 cup of evaporated milk?

There are 16 tablespoons in 1 cup of evaporated milk, the same as any liquid volume measurement. Each tablespoon weighs about 15.75 grams at the 252 g/cup density used here.

Why does evaporated milk weigh more per cup than regular milk?

Evaporated milk is unsweetened milk that has been heated to remove about 60% of its water content, concentrating the milk solids and fat into a smaller volume. That concentration is what pushes its weight per cup above fresh milk's roughly 240 g.

Can I substitute evaporated milk for regular milk by weight?

Not directly. Evaporated milk is more concentrated, so most recipes call for diluting it with an equal amount of water first if you are substituting for fresh milk. Use this converter to get the evaporated milk weight, then measure the water separately.
