QUICK TIPS FOR CALCULATIONS

1 gallon = 4 quarts = 8 pints = 16 cups = 128 fluid ounces

1 quart = 2 pints = 4 cups = 32 fluid ounces

1 pint = 2 cups = 16 fluid ounces

1 cup = 8 fluid ounces = 16 tablespoons

1 gill = 1/2 cup = 4 fluid ounces = 8 tablespoons

1 fluid ounce = 2 tablespoons

1 tablespoon = 1/2 fluid ounce = 3 teaspoons

To convert ounces to grams, multiply ounces x 28.35
To convert pounds to grams, multiply pounds x 453.59

To convert Fahrenheit degrees (F) to Celsius degrees (C):
°C = (°F – 32) x 5/9

1 stick of butter = 8 tablespoons = 4 ounces = 1/4 pound

CHANGING RECIPE QUANTITIES

Here is how you how to increase the yield of a recipe for large gatherings, etc.

Divide the desired yield by the recipe yield:

new yield
                      ---------  = conversion factor
old yield

Multiply each ingredient quantity by the conversion factor:

conversion factor X old quantity = new quantity
