FAQ
- Is a US tablespoon 15 mL everywhere?
- In this table, yes. UK tablespoons are historically larger (17.7 mL), but US 15 mL is the cooking-recipe standard assumed here.
- Does Soft drink, cola type (diet) lose weight during long storage?
- Not in sealed containers — water-like liquids have a near-zero vapour loss rate below boiling. Evaporation only becomes material in open containers over days.
