If you’re feeling extra rebellious, do the math in your head once and then write it on your fridge with a dry-erase marker: Half of 3/4 cup = 6 tbsp. Boom. You’ve now automated your brain. Future you will high-five past you.
Or, just buy a set of measuring spoons that includes a 3/8 cup measure. Yes, they exist. They’re like unicorns in the kitchen aisle, but totally real. If you find one, buy it, hug it, and never let go. You’ve earned that tiny plastic trophy.
The Final Dip
So there you have it. Half of 3/4 cup is 3/8 cup, which is 6 tablespoons, or 90 milliliters, or exactly one angry email to the recipe author for not using simple fractions. Next time you’re in the kitchen and this question pops up, just smile, grab your tablespoon, and count to six. You’re now a certified fraction ninja.
And if anyone asks how you got so smart about cooking measurements, just shrug and say, “I learned from the best—and by ‘the best’ I mean my own kitchen disasters.” Now go bake something magnificent. Or at least something that’s not a brick.
