25 Oct Equivalent Measurements
If you don’t have the measuring spoon or cup called for in the recipe, here’s an easy chart for the equivalent measurement, showing conversions to and from teaspoons, tablespoons, cups, pints, quarts, gallons, fluid ounces and metric measurements all in one.
I suggest printing it out, maybe laminating it, then posting it inside a cupboard in your galley (and in your home kitchen as well, if you’re not a full-time liveaboard). A couple of readers also suggested pinning it on Pinterest and right-clicking and saving to your desktop — both great ideas!
Did I miss a measurement conversion that you find useful? Let me — and the other readers — know with a comment below.

Posted at 12 February 2012An even better idea from Carol Ann — just save it to your computer desktop (assuming your computer is on the boat with you). DUH!

Posted at 12 February 2012@Nita — guess that’s a reason for printing and laminating it!

Posted at 24 March 2013This is really great – thanks 🙂 One thing that I find really difficult with American recipes though is the cup measurments for things like flour or butter. Not used to it at all and always worried I have filled the cup too much or too little. I think weighing out the measures is more accurate but I guess it is what you are used to!
