Clarifying Measurements

Cup = c.
Tablespoon = Tbsp. or T.
Teaspoon = tsp. or t.
Pound = lb
Pint = pt.
Quart = qt.
Gallon = gal.
3 t. = 1 T.
Ounces = oz.
Cup = 8 oz.
Pint = 16 oz. or 2 c.
Quart = 32 oz. or 4 c. or 2 pt.
Gallon = 128 oz or 16 c. or 8 pt. or 4 qt.

Note: Solids and Liquids are not always the same when measuring. It something asks for 8 oz by weight, it's different than throwing that ingredient into a cup. You really do have to weigh it out! Not always, but be aware of these small indications in recipes.

So those are the general measurements you will see in my posts that have been asked to be clarified by a reader. There are so many more. You really can just look things like this up on the internet my friends. :) Any other questions, please feel free to ask.
