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.

“The scenery and space is amazing. The apartment leasing staff and maintenance staff are wonderful. I love that its a gated community and all though it's family and student oriented it's still extremely quiet.”

“This is a quiet gated community with nice apartments located in a great area.”

“We just moved in about a month ago. We had maintenance in so many times trying to get things set up for my disabled son - but they never complained. The grounds are beautiful. The people in the office are always polite and helpful. Very happy here.”
