For example, if you only have a ½ tsp measurement to hand, and need 1 tbsp for your recipe, you can work out that you need 3 tsp for 1 tbsp and so you’ll need six ½ tsp measurements to equal one tablespoon. Also, a tablespoon is a large spoon used to serve food. It is about the size of an egg and holds about 15 milliliters (ml) of liquid.

This method is similar to using a measuring cup, but you will use a spoon instead. Measuring spoons are typically made of metal or plastic and have markings for common measurements (e.g., 1 tsp, ½ tsp, ¼ tsp, 1/3 tsp, etc.). Salt is another ingredient that chefs are very careful of when measuring or adding to a recipe since it could be harmful to your health and could immediately ruin the meal’s taste. It is always easier to add a bit more when needed but very difficult to extract salt from a dish. I don’t want any of my readers to be confused about the measurements. On The Tasty Tip, I always spell out "teaspoon" or "tablespoon" in my recipes, so all of my readers are sure of the correct measurement. How Many Teaspoons in One CupThe traditional English apothecaries' system defines weights, not volumes. However, there was apothecaries' system for volumes too, though less commonly used. Before introduction of the imperial units, all apothecaries' measures were based on the wine gallon which later became the base of U.S. liquid gallon. Discrepancies due to size, generally disregarded as at the scale it becomes a factor, the person generally is using the next size up measuring cup (i.e.: 1 + 1⁄ 2 fl oz is likely to be straight measured in an ounce cup and not as 9 (vs 12) teaspoons) I try to weigh almost everything. My scale has bakers percentage feature. When I bring home a large pkg of ground beef from the "big box" stores I can put it in a previously weighed and tared bowl and then press the percent key and remove 25% at a time and I have four identical portions. It works with anything. Dr. Collins (1803). Practical rules for the management and medical treatment of Negro slaves in the sugar colonies. Printed by J. Barfield, for Vernor and Hood. p.465 . Retrieved 19 December 2011. Dry bulk ingredients, such as sugar and flour, are measured by weight in most of the world ("250 g flour"), and by volume in North America (" 1⁄ 2 cup flour"). Small quantities of salt and spices are generally measured by volume worldwide, as few households have sufficiently precise balances to measure by weight.

To measure, simply pour the liquid into the graduated cylinder until it reaches the desired measurement. Using a food scale:This is a more precise way to measure mL but can be more difficult to use. Graduated cylinders are typically glass or plastic and have markings for common measurements (e.g., 50 mL, 100 mL, 150 mL, etc.). It is important to note that these conversions are only approximate and may not be exact due to variations in measurement methods. When working with small amounts of liquid, it is often more accurate to use teaspoons or drops rather than tablespoons. fluid ounce of water weighs approximately 1 ounce so a recipe calling for a UK pint (20 fl oz) of water can be substituted with 20 oz of water.

With the advent of accurate electronic scales, it has become more common to weigh liquids for use in recipes, avoiding the need for accurate volumetric utensils.
