Here’s a handy conversion chart for quick reference.

1 pinch = 1 dash = Less than 1/8 teaspoon
1 dash (liquid) = a few drops
1 tablespoon = 3 teaspoons = 1/2 ounce = 14.79 ml
3 teaspoons = 1 tablespoon = 1/2 ounce
4 tablespoons = 1/4 cup = 2 ounces
8 tablespoons = 1/2 cup = 4 ounces
16 tablespoons = 1 cup = 8 ounces
1 cup = 8 ounces = 1/2 pound
1/3 cup = 5 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon
16 ounces = 1 pint = 1 pound
16 cups = 8 pints = 4 quarts = 1 gallon
1 kilogram = approximately 2 pounds
1 liter = approximately 4 cups or 1 quart


One cup in the United States is different from one cup in the United Kingdom or in Australia and New Zealand.

In the U.S., one cup (8 fluid ounces) = 237 milliliters
In the U.K., one cup = 227 milliliters, or .96 U.S. cups
In Australia, one cup = 250 milliliters


In general, here are some handy equivalents for calculating ingredient quantities.

(oz = ounce; fl. oz = fluid ounce; ml = milliliter, tsp = teaspoon; tbsp = tablespoon)

1 oz = 28.35 gms = 1 fl. oz = 29.57 ml = 1/8 cup = 6 tsp. = 2 tbsp.
1 tbsp = 3 tsp.
