ok I'm just being curious now - how you measure out the 'krm' normally?
I understand 1 ml but I'd normally only use ml for liquids. I definitely wouldn't have anything that would accurately measure 1 ml of salt!
(In my case knowing now that it's about 1/5 of a teaspoon I guess 2-3 would be about half a teaspoon so I'd use a half teaspoon measure. The smallest measure I have is 1/4 teaspoon.)
Hmmm although we use metric in Australia, we don't really use dl for some reason. We just miss it out! (we use litres or millilitres)
In fact, now that I think of it we don't use metric volume measurements for solids at all - I usually use weight (grams etc), but if volume measurements are used in a recipe it's usually in cups or spoons. I can understand spoons, as most people can't accurately weigh small amounts, but I guess using cups is kind of an anomaly!!!! Oh no I just realised we're weird!!!
Yum I might have to make cake this weekend, although I will need to buy raisins as I ate them all .........
