Cooking Measurement Charts

When using a recipe from another country, you should be aware that standard measuring utensils vary greatly. It isn't only that Australia uses metrics as our standard for measuring, some of the measuring utensils also differ. For example an Aussie tablespoon is 20 ml while an American one is 16 ml. We hope the information below helps you with your recipes.

Length Measurement

Why a length chart in cooking? It can be helpful when you get a recipe that says, "place the cookie dough 2 inches apart to allow for expansion during cooking" or "cut the dough into 10 inch lengths."
