Measurements Equivalents



Have you ever looked at a recipe and thought what on earth is 6 tablespoons? or how many ounces are in a cup? or what do they mean by a "pinch?"

Wonder no more.  Here's a handy-dandy guide for some common measurement equivalents.

Measurement Equivalents

1 pinch or dash equals 1/8 teaspoon (or less)
3 teaspoons (tsp) equals 1 tablespoon (tbsp)
2 tablespoons equals one fluid ounce
4 tablespoons equals 1/4 cup
1 cup equals 8 fluid ounces
2 cups equals 1 pint
2 pints equals 1 quart
4 quarts equals 1 gallon
