Australian recipe volumes in a printable sheet
The PDF lists nine cup, spoon and metric volume references. It uses a 250 mL Australian cup, 20 mL Australian tablespoon and 5 mL teaspoon, with half-, third- and quarter-cup values. It also shows a US cup and litre equivalents for checking an imported recipe.
| Starting value | Converted value | Use note |
|---|---|---|
| 1 Australian teaspoon | 5 mL | standard teaspoon |
| 1 Australian tablespoon | 20 mL | different from US 15 mL |
| 1 Australian cup | 250 mL | Australian cup |
| 1/2 Australian cup | 125 mL | recipe scaling |
| 1/3 Australian cup | 83.3 mL | round carefully |
| 1/4 Australian cup | 62.5 mL | recipe scaling |
| 1 US cup | 236.588 mL | US recipes |
| 1 litre | 4 Australian cups | liquid volume |
| 100 mL | 0.4 Australian cup | quick recipe check |

Two Australian tablespoons × 20 mL = 40 mL. Use a marked measuring spoon rather than ordinary cutlery. A third of an Australian cup is 250 ÷ 3 = 83.3 mL, rounded; retain more precision while scaling a recipe.
Confirm the recipe’s country and cup convention before measuring. The sheet’s “US 15 mL” tablespoon note is a rounded recipe reference, not an exact US customary factor. Its US cup value is approximately 236.588 mL. For another quantity, use Cups to mL or Australian Tablespoons to mL. These are volume conversions: a cup of flour and a cup of oil do not have the same mass.
