Guide to Common Cooking Measurements Teaspoons, tablespoons, and
cups are common volume measurements found in recipes. The two
most commonly used units of weight measurement for cooking are
the ounce and the pound. Do not confuse "weight" and "volume"
measurements: for example, the ounce of weight with the fluid
ounce. They are different measures, and weight is measured on a
scale whereas volume is measured using the correct dry or liquid
measuring cup. (Measuring spoons, however, can be used for both
dry and liquid measurements.) Below is guidance on some common
cooking measurements–and their equivalents–found in the Keep the
