Cooking Measurements

I've found that the best way to measure cooking ingredients is to do all the cooking measurements at home and dump all the ingredients into plastic bags. It works well for dry ingredients that can be pre-mixed but there's always some measuring of teaspoons and tablespoons that needs to happen in the field.
Here I've made a common cooking measurement chart so you can remember how many teaspoons in a tablespoon and how many tablespoons in a cup. I still never remember, so I've printed it and take it with me. There's also a cooking measurement conversion tool that might be fun to try, and some other odds and ends folks seem to need.
