There is one thing wrong with America. We don’t use metric. Oh my goodness I wish metric was used here.

But why? Other than unit conversions, which aren't that hard anyway, there's no benefit to the metric system.

Cooking is one of the many ways that the imperial system is by far and away better.

In fact a lot of counties that use the metric system still use the imperial system for cooking.

And why TBSP in particular? Are you converting Tablespoons to cups a lot or do you just hate the size?

Conversions.

It makes zero sense.

Just tell me milliliters.

It would be so easy.

Spoiler

That is if I even had mL measuring stuff.

non. The country is the idea, the founding purpose. The gov't is the people who run the idea and decide what they want to do. very different. sadly.

TBSP to tsp is easy, 3tsp = 1TBSP

You never really have to do TBSP to cups, except maybe for butter, but that's super easy to do, and you can't measure it in mL anyway. I think I might have done it like twice in my life.

And again, there are a lot of countries that use the metric system use imperial measurements for TBSP and cups. In particular in Brazil I had one companion(which for those of you who aren't church members, is kind of like a roommate if they were also your coworker) where we argued quite a bit about the Imperial vs. Metric system. One day I was in the kitchen and found a set of measuring cups. I held them up triumphantly asking why they were there.

He looked down in defeat: "It's convenient."

Out of curiosity, how is it convenient? I believe there is a difference between everyone uses it and this is the best tool for the job.
