    cooking conversions

    These are the cooking measurement conversions I know by heart, and it really helps to know some of these off the top of your head. I have to admit that sometimes my brain does turn blank early in the morning, so that's where this list can be useful.

    • 1 cup = 8 fluid ounces
    • 2 cups = 1 pint
    • 4 cups = 1 quart
    • 2 pints = 1 quart
    • 4 quarts = 1 gallon
    • 3 teaspoons = 1 tablespoon
    • 4 tablespoons = ¼ cup
    • 16 tablespoons = 1 cup

    Now, let's get into some metric conversions that are often needed in recipes.

    Common Metric Conversions

    • ¼ cup = 60 mL
    • ⅓ cup = 80 mL
    • ½ cup = 120 mL
    • ⅔ cup = 160 mL
    • ¾ cup = 180 mL
    • 1 cup = 250 mL
    • 1 quart = 0.95 L = 950 mL
    • 1 gallon = 3.8 L
    • 1 teaspoon = 5 mL
    • 1 tablespoon = 15 mL
    • 1 fluid ounce = 30 mL

    Weight Metric Conversions

    • 1 ounce = 28 grams
    • 4 ounces = 113 grams
    • 8 ounces = ½ pound = 230 grams
    • 12 ounces = ¾ pound = 340 grams
    • 16 ounces = 1 pound = 450 grams
