"Small Tin"

[PattY1]

It has always been a pet peeve of mine where recipes list a "small can" (or similar) of an ingredient. It's too imprecise as this thread demonstrates.

Listing such imprecise quantities should be a federal offense punishable by death.

I guess you have never seen some really old recipes that call for a "tea cup" of say sugar and a gil of something. Those will really make your head spin.
