How do I convert between the various measurements?

Question

Let's have a single question giving the conversion between cups, ounces, teaspoons, and gallons, just to have one convenient reference.

Answer

US Measurements:

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

Metric conversion:

  • 1 oz ~ 30 mL (29.57 exact)
  • 1 cup ~ 240 mL (236.59 exact)
  • 1 L ~ 1 qt (1.06 exact)
  • 1 oz = 28.4 g
  • 1 kg = 2.2 lbs
