Centiliters (cl)

Definition

A centiliter (cL) is a metric unit of volume equal to one hundredth of a liter (0.01 L) or 10 milliliters.

History

The centiliter is part of the original metric system. While less commonly used than milliliters or liters, it found a niche in European food and beverage labeling.

Current use

Centiliters are commonly used in Europe for wine, spirits, and beverage serving sizes (e.g., a 75 cL wine bottle, a 33 cL beer). They also appear in some European cooking recipes and food packaging.

Cups

Definition

A US cup is a unit of volume equal to 8 US fluid ounces, approximately 236.588 milliliters, or 1/16 of a US gallon.

History

The cup as a cooking measurement evolved from traditional household measures. The US standard cup (236.588 mL) was formalized in the 20th century to standardize recipe measurements across the country.

Current use

Cups are the primary volume unit in American and Canadian cooking and baking recipes. Measuring cups are standard kitchen tools, and nutritional labels in the US frequently reference cup-based serving sizes.
