For example, if you need half a cup, you would require 8 tablespoons of fluid. Measure your liquid over a vessel to prevent a mess. Pouring slowly and steadily to avoid excess spillage into the vessel, fill your tablespoon with the liquid. Transfer to the vessel and repeat until you have measured the amount you need in tablespoons. Some recipes may call for more precise measurements. In this case, you can use teaspoons to get the exact amount needed. One teaspoon is equivalent to 1/6 of a fluid ounce or 4.7ml. This will help to develop your ability to estimate measurements. If you are using a glass or plastic vessel may alternatively wish to use a marker on the outside of the vessel to indicate measurements. This will save you re-measuring the tablespoon amounts in the future. For example, if you measured out a quarter of a cup (4 tablespoons), you would write "1/4" on the vessel.
