VA,
Ok, thanks. That's what I saw elsewhere, I just wanted to confirm it.
Heaping tablespoons indeed! No wonder the British can't cook.
BTW, I don't think I've seen you posting in a year or so. Welcome back!

Are they the same size as ours, or different? http://sizes.com/food/kitchen_measure.htm seems to say they're different. Anyone know definitively? |

Whenever I've seen Jamie Oliver discuss teaspoons and tablespoons he uses a real teaspoon or tablespoon from the flatware drawer. Of course he also uses dessert spoons and water glasses as measurements. |

They are different... how I don't know but I messed up a couple loaves of bread by using one American measuring cup and one British. The Swiss use flatware too for measuring and also water glasses for things that aren't weighed. Mary |

American, British and Metric Tablespoon Measures Americans measure dry ingredients in level tablespoons while the British measure them in heaping tablespoons. Therefore: 2 American tablespoons = 1 British tablespoon Liquid tablespoons must, obviously, be level for both Americans and British. 1 tablespoon liquid = 15 milliliters 1 teaspoon liquid = 5 milliliters 3 teaspoons = 1 tablespoon From Pamela Harlech's Practical Guide to Cooking, Entertaining & Household Management |

Thanks.......I'm around a good bit but usually see a question I can answer only after someone else has , so tend to lurk and read more than anything else. Love this board, although I've found it dangerous to drink my coffee while reading........ |
