Cooking Conversion Table

(Weights and Measures)

American recipes use dry and fluid measures. Volume determines fluid measures; weight determines dry measures. However, most U.S. recipes refer to ingredients in terms of volume. So don't worry too much whether the ingredient you're measuring is dry or fluid; just use the measure specified in your recipe.

Some recipes use additional instructions that require a specific amount of the ingredient. For example, a recipe might request "1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed", or "2 heaping cups flour".

Dash or Pinch
Generally considered to be less than 1/8 teaspoon.

Firmly Packed
With a spatula, a spoon or your hand, tightly press the ingredient into the measuring cup. You should measure as much of the ingredient as you can fit into the measure.

Lightly Packed
Press the ingredient into the measuring cup lightly. Make sure there are no air pockets, but do not compress it too much either.

Even / Level
Measure the amount precisely, discarding the entire ingredient that rises above the rim of the measuring cup. The back of a straight knife works well for this.

Rounded
Do not flatten out the ingredient to the top of the measuring cup. Instead allow it to pile up above the rim naturally, into a soft, rounded shape.

Heaping / Heaped
Pile as much of the ingredient on top of the measure as it can hold.

Sifted
Sift with a strainer or sifter before measuring to ensure ingredient is not compacted and there is no other foreign substance in it.
