Conversion struggles are real, you guys! If you’ve ever had to double, triple, or halve a recipe, we feel you and we've come up with a solution. Make it easy on yourself with our cute and handy kitchen conversion chart printable!

Sometimes you need to double a recipe to feed a crowd or freeze an easy meal for later. Or maybe you need to halve a recipe because you don't have enough of the ingredients to make a full batch. Nobody enjoys that deer-in-the-headlights feeling when the recipe you’re cutting in half calls for ¼ cup of something. (No, our normal measuring cup set didn't cup with a ⅛ cup, either.)

BASIC KITCHEN MEASURING UTENSILS

Before we get into the nitty-gritty of our awesome kitchen conversion chart, let's go over the common measuring utensils that you likely (or should) have in your kitchen tool arsenal:
- Measuring Spoons – Most sets come with at least 4 spoons (sizes ¼ tsp, ½ tsp, 1 tsp, and 1 Tbsp) and some sets can come with additional spoons (⅛ tsp and ½ Tbsp).
- Dry Measuring Cups – Most sets come with 4 cup sizes: ¼ cup, ⅓ cup, ½ cup, and 1 cup.
- Liquid Measuring Cup – These usually come in 2- or 4-cup sizes, will measure in ounces, quarts, and milliliters, and will have a handle.
- Kitchen Scale – When baking, this is the best, most guaranteed way to get the correct weight the recipe is calling for. Bread, muffins, and other baked goods perform best when you use the exact ingredient amounts.
Pretty simple, right? Okay, now that you've got that all figured out, let's move on to the…
UNITS OF MEASUREMENT ABBREVIATIONS
Are you a little bit confused about the difference between “tsp” (teaspoon) and “Tbsp” (tablespoon)? Or maybe you often whip out a recipe, ready to go, but the abbreviations completely throw you off and you break out into cold sweats, feeling like you're spending more time googling what those mean instead of actually cooking. Don't worry! You'll be a pro after this. 😉
- tsp – Teaspoon
- Tbsp – Tablespoon (could also see this as tbsp, T, TB, Tbl, Tbs)
- C – Cup
- PT – Pint
- QT – Quart
- ML/mL – Milliliters
- L – Liters
- OZ – Ounce
- FL OZ – Fluid Ounce
- G – Grams
- LB – Pounds
Hopefully, these abbreviations aren't quite so daunting for you now! The more you cook, the more familiar you'll get and they'll become second nature to you. Alright, now that we've gotten that out of the way, let's go over some…
