**Portion Control Data Guide**

**I. Equivalents of Measures** **III. Scoop & Dipper Sizes**
1 Pinch = 1/8 tsp. #6 = 2/3 Cup
3 tsp. = 1 tbsp. #8 = 1/2 Cup
4 tbsp. = ¼ cup #10 = 3/8 Cup
16 tbsp. = 1 cup #12 = 1/3 Cup
1 cup = ½ pint #16 = ¼ cup
2 cups = 1 pint #20 = 3 1/3 tbsp.
2 Pints = 1 quart #24 = 2 2/3 tbsp.
4 cups = 1 quart #30 = 2 tbsp.
4 quarts = 1 gallon #40 = 2/3 tbsp.
16 cups = 1 gallon
16 oz. = 1 lb. **IV. Conversion Table**
1 lb. (liquid) = 1 fluid pint Ounces × 28.3 = Grams
2 lbs. (liquid)= 1 fluid quart Pounds × 16  = Ounces

Pounds × 0.45 = Kilograms

**II. Common Can Sizes** Grams × .035 = Ounces
#10 = 6 ½-7 lb. = 3 quarts Kilograms × 2.2  = Pounds
#5 = 2-3 lb. = 1 quart Tsp. × 5.0 = Milliliters
#2 ½ = 1 ¾ lb. = 3 ½ cups Tbsp. × 15.0 = Milliliters
#2  = 1 ¼ lb. = 2 ½ cups Fluid oz. × 30.0 = Milliliters
#303 = 1 lb. = 1 pint Cups × 0.24 = Liters
#300 = 14-16 oz. = 1 ¾ cups Pints × 0.47 = Liters
1 #10 can = 7 #303 cans Quarts × 0.95 = Liters
1 #10 can = 5 #2 cans Milliliters × 0.03 = Fluid oz.
1 #10 can = 4 #2 ½ cans Liters × 2.1  = Pints
1 #10 can = 2 #3 cans Liters × 1.06 = Quarts


**Temperature Conversion Equations:**
Fahrenheit (degrees) – 32 × .56 = Celsius (degrees)


Celsius (degrees) × .56 + 32 = Fahrenheit (degrees)
