Measurements for Cooking

I just realized that since recipes all contain a variety of ingredients with different forms of measurements, perhaps a Measurement table might be helpful to those of you who don't have one handy. Here are Measurements using standard measuring spoons and cups.

A pinch = 1/8 teaspoon (tsp) or less
3 tsp = 1tablespoon (tbsp)
4 tbsp = ¼ cup
8 tbsp = ½ cup
12 tbsp = ¾ cup
16 tbsp = 1 cup
2 cups = 1 pint
4 cups = 1 quart (qt)
4 qt = 1 gallon
8 qt = 1 peck
4 pecks = 1 bushel
16 ounces (oz) = 1 pound (lb)
32 oz = 1 qt
8 oz liquid = 1 qt
1 oz liquid = 2 tbsp
