Cooking & Measurements

Cooking can be difficult. It can be intimidating. It can be frustrating. But there is nothing more frustrating than having to deal with measurements. What is a dash? What is a few minutes? What is a sprinkle? Frustrating and often impossible to figure out.

In order to help this chart was kindly submitted by Shrug for our visitors. It will help from time to time with understanding the measurements.
