Measure Equivalents


In cooking, measurement is one vital information a person should not neglect. I found the following table very useful in converting one units to another. I had this printed and post it on my fridge door. Though I'm familiar with all these, still I want to make sure that I'm converting accurately because I really don't want to mess up with my cooking. Perfectionist? Not really. I just hate adding too much or too little of something. 



Measure Equivalents:
1 tablespoon (tbsp) =
3 teaspoons (tsp)
1/16 cup (c) =
1 tablespoon
1/8 cup =
2 tablespoons
1/6 cup =
2 tablespoons + 2 teaspoons
1/4 cup =
4 tablespoons
1/3 cup =
5 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon
3/8 cup =
6 tablespoons
1/2 cup =
8 tablespoons
2/3 cup =
10 tablespoons + 2 teaspoons
3/4 cup =
12 tablespoons
1 cup =
48 teaspoons
1 cup=
16 tablespoons
8 fluid ounces (fl oz) =
1 cup
1 pint (pt) =
2 cups
1 quart (qt) =
2 pints
4 cups =
1 quart
1 gallon (gal) =
4 quarts
16 ounces (oz) =  
1 pound (lb)  
1 milliliter (ml) =
1 cubic centimeter (cc)
1 inch (in) =
2.54 centimeters (cm)
