Make cooking easier with our free printable kitchen conversion chart. This perfect handy cheat sheet will help you quickly convert measurements and more in one easy-to-use chart.
The surest way to eat well and save money doing it is to cook at home.
But sometimes you run out of an ingredient – or need to change the recipe slightly to accommodate your preferred cooking method. You might also need to convert from a volume or weight measurement in a recipe to whatever type of measure you happen to have in your kitchen (not that I’m speaking from experience or anything here).
Usually, when I’m up against this sort of high-stakes decision, my hands are wet/covered in ingredients/stirring a pot and ‘Googling the Answer’ is actually a multi-step process.
Washing my hands, drying them, typing a question, and sorting through the results are not what I want to be navigating in my time-sensitive cooking life-or-death situation.
I need an at-a-glance reference page, preferably posted near the stove or fridge and I NEED IT NOW!
Our handy cheat sheet was created with this in mind and ensures that common kitchen conversions are right at your fingertips.
Having our Kitchen Conversion Chart Printable will help you have more confidence in the kitchen!
Save it as a .pdf on your phone – or print it and hang it in a cupboard. Do whatever works for you.
