A
note about kitchen measurements:
Not all tablespoons are the same.
The British tablespoon is 17.7 ml.
T the American tablespoon is 14.2 ml.
The Australian tablespoon is 20 ml
In most Canadian recipes the tablespoon is 15 ml
In British, Austrailian and sometimes Canadian recipes, the imperial pint
is used which is 20 fluid ounces.
American and sometimes Canadian recipes use the
American pint of 16 fluid ounces.
Be Careful !
Always remember to double check your recipe. There is a big difference
between Fluid Ounces which is a volume measurement and Dry Ounces
which is a weight measurement.
