Tips & Best Practices
-
Consider the stere represents stacked volume including air gaps, not only solid material
-
Be aware of the two UK teaspoon definitions: historical 4.736 mL and modern 5 mL
-
Use the tool to relate large-scale industrial volumes to small culinary measurements carefully
-
Apply the conversion appropriately to avoid confusion with vastly different volume scales
Limitations
-
The stere measures volume including air spaces, so actual solid volume may differ
-
UK teaspoon volume varies depending on whether the historical or modern metric value is used
-
This conversion bridges very different volume scales, requiring careful application
Frequently Asked Questions
