What's your favorite volume measure? Mine's 1/2 cup or 125 ml. So handy.

I like how 1ml of water weighs about 1g

My beloved teaspoon... When I'm too lazy to fish the tablespoon out of my coffee tin and clean it... three teaspoons

I would truly starve to death if I didn't have a teaspoon

And let's not forget how useful it is when making tea!

[chadmctruth@lemmy.world]

these are clearly mislabeled

I'm also a fan of the "pinch"

[cptkrkisclmbngthmntn@hexbear.net]

I sometimes like to make simple, big, one-pot meals that just rely on increments of tablespoons for spices and cups for lentils/rice/etc.

1 mL of pure water weighs exactly 1 g at 20 °C and 1 atm pressure It's a defined standard, useful for calibrating other things.

[dirk@lemmy.ml]

100 ml is pretty easy to use. You can multiply it or divide it evenly without having to think at all.

A peck, equivalent to 2 dry gallons. Yay imperial units!

[glans@hexbear.net]

2000mL of water weighs 2kgs and 355mL weighs about 1/3kg.

To get my mind away from stupid imperial measures of weight, I think of bottles and cans of cola.

(Above is very approximate as sugar, packaging etc have weight. And conventional package size can vary by region.)

Microacres^(3/2)

[woodscientist@lemmy.world]

I prefer milligallons myself.

Even better, add emotions!

Season with salt until it tastes angry.

Wood Science must be a rather strange field.

[xavienth@lemmygrad.ml]

The definition was actually for 4 °C, the point at which water is most dense. At 20 °C the density of water is about 0.997 g/mL. However, we don't use water to define the metric system anymore, so even at 4 °C - or more precisely 3.983035(670) °C - water is not exactly 1 g/mL.

Or an Indian way: season with chilli until Europeans cry...

I see what you did there.

[melatonin@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

A liter of water's a pint and three quarters

[postprocess@lemmy.world]

Two are clearly the same size as well...
