Kitchen Measurement

Recipes usually includes the quantity of ingredients to be used. The volume is measured by weight or by tablespoon, teaspoon, cups, or any other measuring utensils. But sometimes for some reason, we made some errors. Instead of using teaspoon (which is written in the recipe) we picked the tablespoon. Always checked the measurement and measuring utensils twice, to avoid cooking failure. In cooking andbaking, it is important to have the basic cooking conversion table. This will provide useful information about equivalent measures of solid and liquid, both weight and volume.

Conversion of units is the conversion between different units of measurement for the same quantity, typically through multiplicative conversion factors.
