Topic: Let's ban all mention of ladle measures!

[George]

I suggest that each recipe needs to be self-contained with a clear indication of amounts required for the recipe. One shouldn't need to recall that the author mentioned sometime on another thread that when they say 1 tbls they really mean one rounded or heaped tablespoonful, when most people accept 1 tbls as 15 ml. Or that their ladle is 205ml.

If authors can spare hours posting messages and recipes, surely it's worth doing a check that all is clear, otherwise anyone trying the recipe may waste an awful lot of time and money, especially when it comes to industrial scale quantities. Then, if they report back disappointed it shouldn't be because they got the quantities all wrong.
