Dry Measurements
When precise measurement isn't required, these conversions can be rounded:
1 dash = 1/2 pinch = 1/8 tsp.
3 drops = 1 dash
2 dashes = 1 pinch
8 pinches = 1 tsp.
3 tsp. = 1 T. = 1/2 oz. = 14.3 g
2 T. = 1/8 cup/ 6 tsp. = 1 oz. = 28.3 g
4 T. = 1/4 cup = 2 oz. = 56.7 g
8 T. =1/2 cup = 4 oz. = 113.4 g
12 T. = 3/4 cup = 6 oz. = 170 g/.375 lb. 
1 cup = 8 oz. = 250 mL
2 cups = 1 pint = 16 oz. = 500 mL 
2 pints = 1 quart = 1.101 L
4 quarts = 1 gallon = 3.79 L
1 oz. = 28.35 g
4 oz. = 1/4 lb. = 113 g
8 oz. = 1/2 lb. = 230 g
12 oz. = 3/4 lb. = 340 g
16 oz. = 1 pound = 454 g
1/3 lb. = 150 g
2/3 lb. = 300 g
1 lb. = 16 oz. = 450 g
2 lbs. = 900 g

Liquid Measurements
1 tsp. = 5 mL
1 T. = 1/2 fluid oz. = 15 mL
1 fluid oz. = 1/8 cup = 30 mL
1/4 cup = 2 fluid oz. = 60 mL
1/3 cup = 90 mL
1/2 cup = 4 fluid oz. = 120 mL
2/3 cup = 160 mL
3/4 cup = 6 fluid oz. = 180 mL
1 cup = 8 fluid oz. = 1/2 pint = 240 milliliters
1-1/2 cups = 12 fluid oz. = 350 mL
2 cups = 1 pint = 16 fluid oz. = 475 mL
3 cups = 1-1/2 pints = 700 mL
4 cups = 2 pints = 1 quart = 950 mL
4 quarts = 1 gallon = 3.8 L
