Sweetened Condensed Milk: Can & tbsp to Grams (g), Ounces (oz) & Milliliters (ml) Conversion
Convert volumes of sweetened condensed milk, typically from a standard can or measured in tablespoons, to its approximate weight in metric grams (g) and imperial/US ounces (oz), and its volume in milliliters (ml).

Important Considerations for Sweetened Condensed Milk:
Sweetened condensed milk is very dense due to its high sugar content (around 40-45% sugar) and reduced water content. Its density is approximately 1.28-1.30 g/ml.
1 US cup of sweetened condensed milk weighs significantly more than 1 US cup of regular milk or evaporated milk, typically around 305-310 grams.
A standard US can of sweetened condensed milk is labeled by weight, usually 14 ounces (396 or 397 grams). This yields approximately 1 1/4 US cups or about 300-310 ml by volume.
Lightly oiling measuring cups or spoons can help when measuring this very sticky liquid.
For recipes requiring precise amounts, using the entire can (if specified) or measuring by weight is often easiest.
