They normally come with 1/4 tsp, 1/2 tsp, 1 tsp, 1 tbsp. The spoons (normally metal, but sometimes plastic) are often sold in sets that are connected with a ring. I know that if I need 2 ounces of milk, I need to use the 1/4 tick mark. My tin cup has 1/3, 1/4, 1/2, 2/3, and 3/4 tick marks on the inside. Some sets also come with "2 cups" and "3 cups" and measurements like that (where each cup equals 8 liquid ounces, that are ticket off on the sides of the glass sets). I have an old tin one, but now most people by them in glass or plastic in sets that give you a 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 and full cup.


Now I don't know about people in isolated areas, but I would personally be really surprised to find someone who didn't have at least an 8-ounce measuring cup, if not a series of measuring cups. Aunque si un médico leyere esto me gustaría tener resaltado que, para evitar intoxicaciones, debería de recetar usando como medida los mililitros y no las "cucharaditas."ġ/2 a cup = Poquito menos de media taza (118 ml.)ġ/2 a teaspoon = Media cucharadita (2.5 ml.) No voy a decir que todos los fabricantes de cucharillas siguen un estándar, pero, generalmente, las cucharaditas aquí son iguales a las teaspoons usadas en Norteamérica. In the United States one teaspoon is approximately 5 mL. Si la receta es norteamericana, media taza sería 118 ml. In the United States a customary cup is defined as half a U.S. In Australia, Canada, New Zealand and South Africa and Lebanon one cup is commonly defined as 250 millilitres (half a cup would be 125 mL.)
