Liquid Measurements Chart

Measuring liquids is not an easy job. Yes, we do have the modern measuring cups with all the volume definitions. But what do you do when a recipe asks you to use a certain number of cups or teaspoons or tablespoons? And then some recipes ask you to use a certain amount of liquid ounces or milliliters. Tricky as it is, we have made it easy for you here.

Back to BasicsWe all know what a cup is and what the different spoons are. But we do not know their measurements or how much quantity each of them hold. Let us just get back to the basics and understand the simplest forms of measurement.

What are Cups?

A cup is a regular household unit of measurement. Recipes across the globe use cup measurements to give out quantities. However, the cups we use in our household can be different from the standard cups used in these recipes. But then again, are the standard cups we use in these recipes standard in all the countries? No, they aren't! Cup sizes and their volume capacities differ in different countries.
Teaspoons and Tablespoons

Teaspoons and Tablespoons are basic cutlery items found in every household. They are used to eat with, and also used for serving food. And while cooking, they are used to measure smaller quantities. However, the spoons we use in our households differ from the ones used in the recipes. Even the teaspoon and tablespoon measurement in some countries differ.
