Measures that always convert

A cup is a cup, whatever is in it. These never change, so nobody has to look them up.

How much space it fills

  • 1 Tbsp = 3 tsp
  • 1 fl oz = 2 Tbsp
  • 1 cup = 8 fl oz
  • 1 quart = 4 cups
  • 1 gallon = 4 quarts

How heavy it is

  • 1 oz = 28.35 g
  • 1 lb = 16 oz

How many there are

  • 1 dozen = 12

Foods with their own number

A cup of sugar weighs 7 oz. A cup of oats weighs 3. Going between how heavy something is and how much space it fills takes a number for each food.
