How it works
Everything is counted in teaspoons first (a cup is 48), then divided up the ladder. To measure it, the book’s rule fills cups in quarters or thirds (whichever leaves less over), then tablespoons, then teaspoons to the nearest eighth. A US cup is 236.6 mL (8 US fluid ounces); a metric cup is 250 mL.
From the book, Chapter 2. 3/4 cup is 12 tablespoons, about 177 mL; 1/8 cup is 2 tbsp, 29.6 mL; 5 tbsp is 1/4 cup + 1 tbsp, about 74 mL; 1/3 cup is 16 teaspoons (79 mL). 3 quarts fill 12 one-cup containers (2.84 L); 18 cups of tea is 1 1/8 gallons, 4.26 L. Every chapter and its calculator →
Amounts can be typed as 3, 0.75, 3/4, 1 1/2 or 1½. They’re worked as exact fractions and written as a cook measures them: cups in quarters or thirds, then tablespoons, then teaspoons to the nearest eighth. Everything stays in your browser: no sign-up, nothing stored or sent.
