Conversions
Every once in a while you may stumble upon a recipe that gives you measurements in
a form you may not be familiar with, especially if that recipe is coming from the other
side of the Atlantic and instructs you to set your oven to "Gas Mark 5". These charts
are also useful for learning that it is 3 tablespoons that make 1/4 cup or that 2 cups
make a pint. Note too that the conversion between liquid and dry are different. A 1/4
cup of flour is not the same volume that 1/4 cup of milk is.
Take note of the abbreviations I've used below
fl. oz = fluid ounce
Tbs = Tablespoons
tsp = teaspoons
ml = milliliters
qt = quart
pt = pint
gal = gallon
F = Fahrenheit
C= Celsius
