What is Oz?

What is Oz

To answer the question of how many ml in 8 oz, we must first understand that there are two types of ounces – dry and fluid. Dry ounces measure weight while fluid ounces (often referred to as “liquid”) measure volume. This means that if you were to measure the same ingredient but with a different type of ounce, you would get a different measurement. However, in this post, we will be focusing on liquid measurements in ounces (fl oz).

In addition, you need to keep in mind that there are many measurement systems and the measurements are different in different countries. So, depending on your location, the answer to the question of how many ml in 8 oz would be different.

In US customary unit measurements, 1 oz = 29.5735 ml while in UK imperial unit measurements, 1 oz = 28.4130625 ml.

What is ML?

What is ML

ML stands for milliliters and it is the metric unit for volume measurement. 1 ml is equal to 1/1000 liter,  and it is a much more precise measurement than ounces. It is also the universal language of measurements when it comes to cooking, so knowing how to convert between oz and ml will help you accurately measure ingredients for any recipe.

How Many ML in 8 Oz?

The answer to the question of how many ml in 8 oz is slightly different depending on whether you’re using US customary unit measurements or UK imperial unit measurements.

In US customary unit measurements, 1 oz = 29.5735 ml, therefore to convert from oz to ml,  multiply the number of ounces you have by 29.5735.

So, 8 oz = 29.5735 x 8 = 236.588 ml.

In UK imperial unit measurements, 1 oz = 28.4130625 ml, so to convert from oz to ml multiply the number of ounces you have by 28.4130625.

So, 8 oz = 28.4130625 x 8 = 227.3045 ml.

The slight difference in results depends on which unit of measurement is being used, but both conversions will give you a close answer that should be accurate enough for most recipes.

How Many Ml in 8 Oz of Sticky Ingredients?

When measuring sticky ingredients like honey or molasses, you’ll need to slightly adjust the conversions above. As these types of ingredients can stick to your measuring cup and spoons, it’s important to remember that 1 oz (ounce) of a sticky ingredient such as honey is equivalent to 30 or 31 ml, rather than the standard ounce-to-milliliter conversion.

To convert from oz to ml when measuring sticky ingredients, 1 oz = 30 or 31 ml.  So, 8 oz of honey would be equal to either 240 ml or 248 ml depending on the exact measurements of your ingredient.
