Liquid Measure Equivalents in Cooking


Sometimes you just need to know just how many pints in a quart… we all have momentary lapses… or how maybe you need to know how many tablespoons are in ½ cup… whatever the reason, it’s always good to have an Equivalent Chart around to help you.

This Equivalents Chart for Liquid Measures also comes in handy when adjusting recipes to increase or decrease the amount of servings. The easiest way to adjust a recipe is to break down the ingredient amounts to basic units first before increasing or decreasing them. Remember to keep the ratios the same… if you divide one in half.. do the same to the others… or if you double one, double them all….

After you’ve done the math… the next step is to convert it into the largest units of measure to make the actual measuring of ingredients the easiest.

Dry Measure Equivalents in Cooking


I have this handy dandy little chart I’d like to share with you… it gives you Dry Measure Equivalents in Cooking….

I am constantly altering recipes to fit the number of servings I need…. a lot of recipes start out being servings for 3, 4 or even 6… well… we’re two of us.. and while we love leftovers… we don’t want them from every meal… so I do a little arithmetic and alter the recipes…

If you follow this blog… you know I make most of my own seasoning blends… Taco, Fajita, Chili and Cajun Seasoning… to name a few…. those start out small… and I increase the quantities to make up enough to fill small jars… so they’re ready to go whenever I need them…

The Equivalents chart makes things a lot easier … I just multiply out the quantities to however many times the recipe I want….then I convert them to the larger measures to make measuring a snap and I’m done in minutes…

I put this chart on one of my “pages” at the top of the blog … so you can easily use this reference whenever you need it… just put me on your favorites and when you want to use the chart…pop back!

I hope you find this helpful!
