bodyartt Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 I know it sounds like a stupid question, but what is a tablespoon and teaspoon? Can u post pic comparing them? The reason I am asking is, I thought I was using a tablespoon but my friend points to something else (which is almost big as a ladle) as tablespoon. I am confused.

blabbate Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Have you tried just googling? Here's a good one that pops up: http://images.zesco.com/pimages/002/002-000-flatware1.jpg A tablespoon in most countries is 15 ml, which is three teaspoons. It might run a bit larger in the UK and is usually around 20 ml in Australia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bodyartt Posted April 10, 2014 Author Share Posted April 10, 2014 I have 150ml of olive oil, taking 4 spoons every day. It should have been over in 3 days, but it's been ten days or more - still not empty. But I am sure I am using a tablespoon, not a teaspoon because teaspoon is so small ... used for sugar. that's why i am confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blabbate Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 That works out to 12.5 ml per spoon, which is way bigger than a teaspoon (though smaller than a tablespoon, *shrug*). It's actually closer to a dessertspoon (don't ask). Either it's actually much more than 150ml total or you're not using a tablespoon. If you have more precise measures you should use those. Medicine cups or spoons, for instance. You could also do it by weight. Olive oil has a density of ~0.9 g/ml, so that's about 11g per dose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
