Tips
UK and US pints are not the same — a UK pint (568ml) is about 20% larger than a US pint (473ml). Always check the recipe origin.
Half a US pint (236.6ml) equals exactly 1 US cup. This is why some older American recipes use pints and cups interchangeably.
For milk, cream, and stock in UK recipes, a pint is a very common measure. 1 UK pint of milk = 568ml, often rounded to 570ml in recipes.
When converting US pint recipes for a UK kitchen, remember that your pint measure holds 568ml — so do not fill it to the top when a US pint is needed.
About this pint to ml tool
The pint is a traditional volume measure used in both British and American cooking, but the two are significantly different in size. A UK (imperial) pint is 568.26ml, while a US pint is 473.18ml — making the UK pint about 20% larger. This difference matters in recipes: using the wrong pint can throw off a dish by nearly 100ml, which is significant for liquids like stock, milk, cream, or beer in cooking.
In British cooking, pints remain a familiar measure for milk, cream, and beer. Many older UK recipe books — particularly those from before the 1970s metrication push — list liquids in pints and fluid ounces. Modern UK recipes increasingly use millilitres, but pints persist on milk cartons, beer glasses, and in classic recipe collections. In the US, pints are used for cream, buttermilk, and stock, and a US pint of cream is a common recipe unit.
When following recipes across British and American sources, always confirm which pint is meant — the label "1 pint" has a different meaning depending on the recipe's origin. Our converter supports both standards, and the reference table shows the ml equivalent of common pint quantities for quick reference without needing to calculate.
