Cooking & Baking Tips
Recipe Scaling
When doubling recipes, use weight measurements for more accurate results than volume.
Temperature Matters
Cold milk is slightly denser than warm milk. Room temperature milk gives the most accurate conversions.
Different Milk Types
Whole milk (~1.03g/ml), 2% milk (~1.02g/ml), skim milk (~1.035g/ml) have slightly different densities.
Professional Baking
Commercial kitchens often use weight measurements for consistency and cost control.

Frequently Asked Questions
Milk contains proteins, fats, and lactose dissolved in water, making it approximately 3% denser than pure water. This is why 1 liter of milk weighs about 1.03kg instead of 1kg.
Yes, but minimally. Whole milk (3.25% fat) is slightly less dense than skim milk because fat is lighter than water. The difference is small - about 0.01-0.02 g/ml between whole and skim milk.
Our calculations are accurate to within 1-2% for most common milk types at room temperature. Factors like temperature, fat content, and processing can cause minor variations.
This calculator is specifically calibrated for liquid milk. Other dairy products like cream (0.99 g/ml) or buttermilk (1.04 g/ml) have different densities and would need separate calculations.
