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

One tip - did you know you can actually use Google as a plain english calculator? I use it all the time to convert measurments, currency, etc.
Try some, bring up Google and type:
6 teaspoons to tablespoons
12 ounces to cups
Of course, this is just scratching the surface. I use Google’s calculator feature in advanced situations at work, like this:
1.2 petabytes to kilobits
The calculator is just one of many features, check this out:

I use google to track packages, find flight information, locate patents, find cities on a map, define words, etc.
