Make bigger batches of sausage so that nothing that small needs to be measured?

For ordinary cooking, I generally eyeball a lot of measurements, although
you probably would like better control in sausage making.

A U.S. teaspoon is 5 milliliters. I'd keep using teaspoons for the little
stuff, if I were you.

Incidentally, 1/3 cup (0.33 repeating) is very close to 3/8 cup (0.325), which
is easier to reduce. You probably can't get 0.01 precision with any sort of
measuring cup.
