Hello! How can I help you today?<|im_end|>

I'm having trouble with measurements in my recipe. What's the difference between a pinch and a dash?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
A pinch is a small amount, about 1/8 teaspoon, while a dash is a bit more, about 1/4 teaspoon. They're both used to add flavor without measuring exactly.<|im_end|>

That helps. What if my recipe calls for a cup of all-purpose flour, but I only have a digital scale? How do I convert it?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
One cup of all-purpose flour is usually equal to 120 grams. You can use your digital scale to measure the flour by weight for more accuracy.<|im_end|>
