How to use this Conversion Calculator

Most of my recipes are in American standard measurements like ounces, pounds, cups,
tablespoons, etc. but if you want to convert my recipes into metric measurement, this
converter will help.

This Conversion Calculator is from Google and can be used to convert just about anything.
Here's what to do:

For example:


 

An Old Fashion Cooking Conversion Table

1 pinch = 1 dash = Less than 1/8 teaspoon
1 dash (liquid) = a few drops
1 tablespoon = 3 teaspoons = 1/2 ounce
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
8 quarts (dry) = 1 peck = 1/4 bushel
4 peck (dry) = 1 bushel
1 kilogram = approximately 2 pounds
1 liter = approximately 4 cups or 1 quart

Canned Beans to Cooked Beans
14 -16 oz can = 1.5 cups cooked beans

1 cup dry beans (most kinds) = 2.5 cups cooked beans
1 cup dry beans (most kinds) = 2.5 cups cooked beans
Chick peas, great northern beans, and lima beans: 1 cup dry beans = 3 cups cooked beans
