My friends and I always needed these for recipes, and could never find proper ones. So we worked them all out and I suggest you copy and print them onto an index card. You just never know when you might need them!
1 tablespoon = 3 teaspoons
1/8 cup = 2 tablespoons
1/4 cup = 4 tablespoons
1/3 cup = 5 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon
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 = 1 cup
1 pint = 2 cups
1 quart = 2 pints
4 cups = 1 quart
1 gallon = 4 quarts
16 ounces = 1 pound
Here are a few I have come across in baking:
24oz of eggs = about 12 eggs
I'll add to these when I find more!
Now some of these are common sense, but sometimes in the middle of baking or cooking fury they slip our minds!
I'm always getting teaspoons and tablespoons mixed up. I really shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a kitchen =))
ReplyDeleteThat's an easy fix though. Just think about what they are called. A tablespoon(Tbs), or a table is bigger than a teaspoon(tsp), or a tea cup.
