Abbreviation and Calculation

Recipes from different parts of the world use different units of measurement. These
recipes are full of culinary codes like abbreviations and weird measurements (how big is a
pinch?). Most cooking measurement abbreviations are easy to remember once you used them
a couple of times. Here’s the common abbreviation and calculation of measurement in cooking

Now that you have the abbreviations all sorted out, it’s time to learn the most common
conversion measurements in cooking. Understanding these cooking conversions can help you
quickly follow recipes, convert based on your available cooking equipment, or even allow you
to do quick math to slightly alter recipes according to your liking!
