Comments on: Help Needed : Measuring Spoons http://mykoreankitchen.com/2007/03/22/help-needed-measuring-spoons/ A Practical Guide to Korean Food and Korean Fusion Food Sat, 11 Oct 2008 09:32:17 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.1.3 By: Harvey http://mykoreankitchen.com/2007/03/22/help-needed-measuring-spoons/#comment-2772 Harvey Thu, 22 Mar 2007 16:07:59 +0000 http://mykoreankitchen.com/2007/03/22/help-needed-measuring-spoons/#comment-2772 Sue- I have two sets of measuring spoons: a stainless steel set for wet ingredients from Williams & Sonoma (not sure if they have branches in Australia) and one from IKEA for dry ingredients (was $5 USD or so). There have been raves about a measuring "plunger" used by FoodTV "Good Eats" host Alton Brown. I hear it's great for sticky ingredients that are hard to wash out (e.g., mayonnaise, gochujang) but the apparatus is hard to clean. http://catalog.fullpond.com/altonbrown/productdetail.aspx?CatalogName=General&CategoryName=All Merchandise&ProductID=ABRN AB1001 Good luck!

For wet ingredients, I have a glass Pyrex measuring cup (American measurements) and also a plastic Japanese one with metric on it.

If you scroll down this page to the middle - on the right hand side there is a conversion chart for spoon measurements metric to imperial. 1.25ml = 1/4tsp http://www.gfw.co.uk/campaigns/metricationchart.html Sounds like Australia follows metric measurements rather than imperial.

The standard (plastic) measuring spoons I have are - 1/4 tsp (1.25ml), 1/2 tsp (2.5ml), 1 tsp (5ml) and 1 tbsp (20ml). Measuring cups, for dry ingredients - plastic Tupperware brand - 1/4 cup (63ml), 1/3 cup (84ml), 1/2 cup (125ml), 2/3 cup (167ml), 3/4 cup (188ml), 1 cup (250ml). For wet ingredients - glass Pyrex measuring jug - the various measurements are: cups, oz (ounces), pint, ml. If I find any s/steel measuring spoons I'll let you know.

I haven't seen any of those off measurements. The standard cups & spoons can be found anywhere in Melbourne, especially those places that you mentioned.
