WEIGHTS
& MEASURES / CUP CONVERSIONS
Most households in India do not use Standard Measuring
Cup in their
kitchens. They work by approximation and hand
measures like pinch
and handful etc. Therefore, at Nestlé India
Test Kitchen we use the
following household measures. You can standardize
any cup in your
house by marking it against 5 oz. of baby's feeding
bottle or against a
tin of Sweetened Condensed milk which contains
300 ml i.e. 2 cups
of condensed milk (though it weighs 400g).
Tea spoons and tablespoons are also the medium
sized household spoons
and NOT Standard spoons.
All spoon measures are lightly heaped measures
unless mentioned
otherwise.All cup measures are approx. till the
goldline marking in
the household teacup, if it is there.
All Nestlé recipes refer to household cup/tablespoon/teaspoon
measures as given below:
