Measurements

Grandma's Soul Food Kitchen

When my grandmother cooked, she would not measure. It was either a dash here or there, or a pinch of this or that. Below I have provided what I believe is the equivalent to her measurement.

Below are common cooking measurements when dealing with volume. For the most part, liquids are measured this way.

>1 - 2
 

1 tablespoon (tbsp.) =	3 teaspoons (tsp.) =	1/2 fluid ounce (fl. oz.)
1/8 cup (c.) =	2 tablespoons =	1 fluid ounce
1/4 cup =	4 tablespoons =	2 fluid ounces
1/3 cup =	5 1/3 tablespoons =	2 2/3 fluid ounces
1/2 cup =	8 tablespoons =	4 fluid ounces
3/4 cup =	12 tablespoons =	6 fluid ounces
1 cup =	16 tablespoons =	8 fluid ounces
1 pint =	2 cups =	32 tablespoons
1 quart =	2 pints =	4 cups
1 gallon =	4 quarts =	8 pints
