Converting measurements

[jeff]

1 oz = 28.35 grams
Dash = less then 1/8 tsp
3 tsp = 1 TBS = 1/2 oz
2 TBS = 1/8 cup = 1 oz
4 TBS = 1/4 cup = 2 oz
5 1/3 TBS = 1/3 cup = 2 2/3 oz
8 TBS = 1/2 cup = 4 oz
10 2/3 TBS = 2/3 cup = 5 1/3 oz
12 TBS = 3/4 cup = 6 oz
14 TBS = 7/8 cup = 7 oz
16 TBS = 1 cup = 8 oz

1 cup = 8oz = 240 milliliters
2 cups = 1 pint = 480 milliliters
2 pints = 1 quart = approximately 1 liter
4 quarts = 1 gallon = 3.75 liters

16oz = 1 pound
1 kilogram = 2.2 pounds

That's a good list.

The other sections of the site are great for converting non-coking stuff too.

Last thing you want to do when baking is get on your computer =) I have a book that has all of this listed. when I'm in the kitchen I like to have it ready. it's nice when baking for 1 or 2 people since I always end up cutting batches into halfs.

Jeff,

My stuffing recipe calls for 1 tsp of poultry seasoning, 1 1/2 tsp sage, 1 tsp dried thyme, and 1/2 tsp marjoram.

I have all the dried ingredients and I can use them, but I found a fresh beauquet of poltry seasoning at the supermarket and was wondering how to convert from dried to fresh.

Thanx

The general rule of thumb is to substitute three parts fresh herb for one part dried herb.
