And is a tablespoon a heaped spoon or what

No it’s a tablespoon. Is a centiliter a heaped milliliter?

A US tablespoon is 0.5 US fluid ounces which is 14.8 ml.

You can round up to 15 ml if that makes life easier for you.

But, that would make a stick of butter is 120ml which you know is not true.

You are just making it worse for yourselves.

There’s no saving us. Too far gone.

So if you need a “tablespoon” of butter, you take a stick, melt it, and scoop the butter with the spoon?

No, each stick is marked for ounces, tablespoons, and sometimes teaspoons. You just cut off as much as you need.

Just jam it in there with your thumb.

What shape does your butter come in?  Small molds of the Mannequin Pis?

Bwahahaha. ;D.  As it melts the butter runs out of its…

So you take a steak knife and cut through the wrapper.

[skatz (Stevie)]

Any knife. It’s butter, it’s soft.

[homoeccentricus]

But you need a knife to get a tablespoon of butter.

could use a fork I suppose. Untrimmed fingernails might do the trick.

Another crazy thing is we sell our butter with and without salt.

Actually yes, we do have that. Each Manneke weighs 100 grams exactly:

As you can see by the photo, the “stick” is super precise.

Metric needs to rule the day. It’s a tiny world now. Get with it. If some people are so stupid they can’t adapt from 32F to 0C, they probably aren’t contributing to society anyway.

The most vocal advocates of the English system that I know are engineers…Sometimes, it’s just easier. Nice to have options.

I assume you switched to metric in your brewing software and on your temp controllers?

I tried it and gave up.

I just want to point out that we now live in a world where Europeans are getting their recipes from America. What are you making, pulled pork waffle sandwiches?

A tablespoon is 3 teaspoons or a half ounce, or about 14 grams.

How many sticks of butter are in Belgian waffles?

^This.  Thanks Jim.  We need to get with it.  Fractions suck too.  Also, didn’t Congress pass a law in the 70’s to require is to switch?

I remember being in grade school in the seventies as the US was converting to the metric system. “Learn it, don’t convert it” was the mantra. Once the 1980’s came I think it was viewed, along with everything else, as a communist plot.
