Cups, Spoons, Pounds, Measurements

July 3rd, 2009

When following a recipe it is best to level off the top of your measurement. For example, “1 tsp of salt” should be a flat teaspoon of salt, not heaping or mounding.

t or tsp = teaspoon

T = Tablespoon

3 teaspoons = 1 Tablespoon

4 Tablespoons = 1/4 cup

2 Cups = 1 Pint

4 Cups = 1 Quart

4 Quarts = 1 Gallon

1 lb. (pound) of flour = 12 cups of flour

The liter and the quart are similar in quantity. (Thanks to WikiAnswers.com for this one)

1 liter = 1.056 688 205 quart [US, liquid]

1 quart [US, liquid] = 0.946 352 95 liter
