Measurement constantly confuses me here. The teaspoon and tablespoon are not the same size as their US counterparts. They are slightly bigger (6 ml and 18 ml cf. 5 ml and 15 ml). There is also a dessert spoon (12 ml). Measuring cups are also sized differently--I believe slightly bigger here--and not used for measurement as often as a kitchen scale (which we don't own). As you can imagine, cooking and baking poses its challenges. I've resorted to guessing and it always turns out close enough.
Here is an invention idea. Design a universal measuring set with two-sided spoons or a large spoon with lines demarcating each measurement. I've looked on Amazon and Google and haven't found one yet. Perhaps someone will scoop this idea. (Sorry fork the bad joke. I'm sure you've heard eknife.)
