}Explanation
Use the same 242 g per US cup reference to express milk (2%) weight as US cups.
Gram-based recipes and cup-based prep therefore use one explicit assumption. That is especially useful for sauces, custards, and baking formulas that move between poured volume and target weight. Very small gram amounts are too little to measure reliably in a cup, so cup measuring only becomes practical at larger weights. Milk (2%) can vary slightly with fat level and temperature, so the page keeps one explicit basis for consistent kitchen reference.
