Measurement Conversions

I can be incredibly helpful when cooking or baking to know some basic measurement conversions. Especially if you plan on halving or doubling a recipe. One wrong measurement and a whole dish can be thrown off. Here is a list of some of the most common measurements used in cooking and how they break down.

a pinch.......................... 1/8 teaspoon or less
1 tablespoon................ 3 teaspoons
1/4 cup ....................... 4 tablespoons
1/2 cup ....................... 8 tablespoons
3/4 cup ....................... 12 tablespoons
1 cup ............................ 16 tablespoons
1 pint ........................... 2 cups
1 quart ........................ 4 cups
1 gallon ........................ 4 quarts or 16 cups
1 liquid ounce ............. 2 tablespoons
8 liquid ounces ........... 1 cup
