Divide milliliters by 236.588. Formula: US cups = milliliters ÷ 236.588.
A recipe that uses 500 ml of stock requires about 2.11 US cups. That is 2 cups plus roughly 2 tablespoons.
250 ml is about 1.06 US cups. It is exactly one metric cup, which is why recipe sources matter.
For cooking, rounding to the nearest quarter, third, or half cup is often workable. Baking is less forgiving, so measuring the original milliliter amount may give better results.
