Volumes have been expressed both in pints and mils. It may be noted that there is a slight difference in the volume given in pints and its equivalent in mils. This is because the pint measures have been taken to the nearest quarter-pint. Cooks who have jugs marked in both pints and mils (c.cs) will probably prefer to use the latter.
