1/4 Is Bigger Than 1/8
Wondering how to measure out one/8 teaspoon when you don't take a measuring spoon that size? Or whatever other measurement that you don't take a measuring spoon for? Here's how to practice it.
When she needed a teaspoon or less of something, my grandmother always "measured" it in the palm of her hand. My female parent owned measuring spoons and taught me to use them, only almost never used them herself — once again, just measuring in her paw. And over time, I learned their "eyeball estimates."
I'm certain, when you read some of these, you lot're going to think "that can't be right." Before writing this, I checked the measures confronting actual measuring spoons. Sure plenty, mom was right.
HOW TO MEASURE WITHOUT A MEASURING SPOON
| ane/8 teaspoon | i compression using your pollex, index and middle finger |
| 1/four teaspoon | 2 of the above pinches OR cup your hand like you were holding water in it; pour a mound into the middle of your paw about the size of a nickel |
| ane/2 teaspoon | a mound about the size of a quarter in your cupped paw |
| 1 teaspoon | a mound about 1/4-inch all effectually larger than a quarter in your cupped manus OR an "eating" teaspoon near half full |
| 1 tablespoon | fill a soup spoon so it is very slightly rounded up OR turn a 12-ounce popular or beer tin can upside downwardly (wash it!) – that depression in the bottom holds exactly 1 tablespoon |
Even if you don't intend to use these regularly, you might want to print this out and continue it in case you lot lose a measuring spoon and it's a while before you can purchase some other ane . . . or you are in a metric country!
