Common Kitchen Conversions to Use in Your Gainesville Apartment
Cooking can be a lot of fun, but it can be a hassle tracking down kitchen tools to measure out ingredients. Knowing how to convert between the different cooking units will help you spend more time cooking and less time searching for the right measuring tools.
You can get by with just about every recipe using only a teaspoon, tablespoon, or measuring cup if you keep in mind the following conversions:
- 3 teaspoons = 1 tablespoon
- 2 tablespoons = 1 ounce
- 8 ounces = 1 cup
- 2 cups = 1 pint
- 2 pints = 1 quart
While these are the most common measurements likely to appear in recipes, there are two others that often confuse amateur chefs: the pinch and the dash. These measurements usually don’t need to be precise, but if you’re concerned about getting a recipe perfect, just remember there are 2 pinches in 1 dash and 8 dashes in 1 teaspoon.
Storing a handy sheet of these and other kitchen conversions in your kitchen can make cooking in your Gainesville apartment much easier.
