[Sca-cooks] Various measurements and other things

[Margaret Rendell]

An Australian metric tablespoon is four 5ml teaspoons, but it confuses the issue that a UK metric tablespoon is three 5ml tablespoons. I think the UK standard metric cup is different to the Australian (250ml) one too.

Thanks, have used the web site and other conversions. 

Still kind of iffy, on the net weight substitutions equivalencies though.

Aussies did I remember correctly and one tablespoon used to be four teaspoons and I remember teaspoons being the same size approx five ml?  

I also think the metric tablespoon is also 15 ml, but the relationship of tablespoons to cups is different (16 tbsp in SAE cup, 20 tbsp in imperial cup, but 16 x 15 = 240 ml so it is closer to 17 tbsp in a metric cup)
