MEASURING CONFLICT
Spoons To The Ounce
The measuring charts featured on the packets of three brands of cornflour are anything but handy to a busy housewife, according to “Consumer.”
One ounce of cornflour is variously stated to equal three level tablespoons, one heaped tablespoon or six level tablespoons. “Two standard measures, American and British, are used in New Zealand, and many housewives use the nearest kitchen spoons to hand.” the article states. “Until New Zealand has a standard, none of these charts can aerially be considered wrong.” Setting its own standard, “Consumer” says that four tablespoons equal approximately one ounce of cornflour. The makers have been advised bi this standard.
