Grandma Knows Best

We rarely see recipes calling for "two gills" of something anymore. But when that moment comes, you don't want to be the one explaining to your dinner party guests why their casseroles are swimming in salt. Grandma's Table of Measurements addresses virtually every measurement conversion conundrum under the sun. Yes, it offers the standard metric/imperial ratios, and tells you how many pints make up a quart, but it also clears up the raging debate over how many suspicions actually make up a pinch (that would be one), not to mention how many dry pecks equal a bushel (try four). So if you're still getting your recipes out of a dog-eared copy of the 1909 Farmer's Almanac, this print-and-save converter could save you a saltspoonful of trouble!
