In Canada, a teaspoon is historically 1⁄6 imperial fluid ounce (4.74 mL) and a tablespoon is 1⁄2 imperial fl oz (14.21 mL). In both Britain and Canada, cooking utensils come in 5 mL for teaspoons and 15 mL for tablespoons, hence why it is labelled as that on the chart. The volumetric measures here are for comparison only.
Refined. 220 °C [13] 428 °F. ^ Specified smoke, fire, and flash points of any fat and oil can be misleading: they depend almost entirely upon the free fatty acid content, which increases during storage or use. The smoke point of fats and oils decreases when they are at least partially split into free fatty acids and glycerol; the glycerol ...

An example of a Tavole di ragguaglio (Conversion Table) in 1860 when Tuscany became part of modern Italy. Milan adopted the metric system in 1803, during the Napoleonic wars, albeit reusing names of older units. [1] [2] After the Congress of Vienna, the various Italian states reverted to their original systems of measurements.
The cup is a cooking measure of volume, commonly associated with cooking and serving sizes. In the US, it is traditionally equal to one-half US pint (236.6 ml). Because actual drinking cups may differ greatly from the size of this unit, standard measuring cups may be used, with a metric cup being 250 millilitres.
Prior to metrication, in the United Kingdom, the standard single measure of spirits in a pub was 1 ⁄ 6 gill (23.7 mL) in England and Northern Ireland, and either 1 ⁄ 5 gill (28.4 mL) or 1 ⁄ 4 gill (35.5 mL) in Scotland. After metrication, this was replaced by measures of either 25 or 35 millilitres (0.176 or 0.246 gi), at the discretion ...
