Google has a cool gadget that converts units of weight and volume. Just enter the measure you want to convert from first, i.e. "Cups in quart".
| Equivalence Measures |
|---|
| 1 pinch = less than 1/8 teaspoon (dry) |
| 1 dash = 3 drops to 1/4 teaspoon (liquid) |
| 3 teaspoons = 1 tablespoon = 1/2 ounce (liquid and dry) |
| 2 tablespoons = 1 ounce (liquid and dry) |
| 4 tablespoons = 2 ounces (liquid and dry) = 1/4 cup |
| 1 cup = 8 ounces (liquid) = 1/2 pint |
| 16 cups = 128 ounces (liquid) = 4 quarts = 1 gallon |
| Approximate Equivalents |
| 1 quart (liquid) = about 1 liter |
| 8 tablespoons = 4 ounces = 1/2 cup = 1 stick butter |
