HANDY KITCHEN MEASURES Recipes often give ingredients in "spoons" but what if you don't have the particular spoon to hand. Here is a handy conversion chart for the most popular sizes. This is followed by explanation as to what the various different terms applied to these measurements mean e.g. rounded, level etc. and approximate conversion in weight format.
A tablespoon or tbls., when referring to dry goods (i.e. flour etc.) usually means a rounded tablespoon. A rounded tablespoon means there is as much of the product you are measuring above the top edge of the spoon as there is in the "bowl" of the spoon. A heaped tablespoon means as much as you can get on the spoon without it falling off. A level tablespoon is where the ingredient is only level with the top edge of the spoon. This can be achieved by filling the spoon and then running a knife horizontally across the top two edges of the spoon which discards anything above the level of the spoon. Of course, do make sure you have something underneath to catch it! A stick of butter is equal to half a cup, 4 ounces, 8 tablespoons or 113 grams.
