The Most-Used Measurement Equivalents

When it comes to baking the most important thing besides having amazing ingredients is knowing your measurements, because if you add more of a certain ingredients, for instance baking soda or salt, your baked good isn't going to be tasting so delightful.  So knowing your measurements and using the correct measuring tools is really important.

First off, make sure you used the Liquid Measuring Cups ONLY with liquids!

Secondly, use those cute little cups that say 1 cup, 1/4 cup, etc., those are called Dry Measuring Cups!  As stated in their name, its meant to be used ONLY on dry ingredients.  For more detail on Liquid Measurements Vs. Dry will be on another day.

For now I'm going to show you the most used measurement equivalents that are used in the baking industry.

Dry Volume                               Liquid Volume                        Weight (Mass)
3 tsp = 1 Tbl                                              8 oz = 1 c                                           16 oz = 1 lb
16 Tbl = 1 c                                                 2 c = 1 pt
Weight of 1 c varies!!!                               4 c = 1 qt

tsp = teaspoon
Tbl = Tablespoon
c = Cup
pt = pint
qt = quart
oz = ounce
lb = pounds
