European measures (metric)

New Zealand and Sweden (and most likely many parts of Europe) recipes use the metric system of litres (l) and millilitre?s (ml), grams (g) and kilograms (kg), and degrees celsius (°C).
In addition to these, some common measures have been redefined in terms of metric units:

:1 teaspoon = 5 millilitres
:1 dessertspoon = 2 teaspoons = 10 millilitres
:1 tablespoon = 3 teaspoons = 15 millilitres
:1 cup = 250 millilitres

Note that in metric, no difference is made between fluids and solids, and so a cup may very well be used to measure flour?. Be careful with pints. A U.S. Pint is not the same as a U.K. pint.
