Kitchen Measuring Conversions

These conversions are handy to know around the kitchen - especially when you do not want to dirty up additional measuring containers. Note the conversion of volume to weight (such as 1 cup = 8 oz) is approximate because 1 cup of lead weighs more than 1 cup of flour.

By Volume

1 tablespoon = 3 teaspoons
16 tablespoons = 1 cup
1/4 cup = 4 tablespoons
1 pint = 2 cups
1 quart = 4 cups

By Weight

2 tablespoons = 1 ounce
1 cup = 8 ounces
1 cup = 250 ml
1 kg = 2.2 lbs
1 cup = 1/2 pint
1 teaspoon = 5 ml
1 tablespoon = 15 ml
1 liter = 35 ounces
