Canadian kitchens go metric as measures approved
Ottawa reports that Canada adopts metric kitchen measuring, with 250 ml largest cup, 125 ml and 50 ml smaller cups, and five spoon sizes from 25 ml to 1 ml. Home economist Catherine Sinnott notes conversion requires recipe tweaks, rounding to multiples of 25, and practice with metric measures. A booklet Come on into the Metric Kitchen is available free from Information, Sir John Carling Building, Ottawa.
