Purpose
The Cooking Conversions category is crafted for home cooks, chefs, and bakers who need to adapt recipes across different measurement systems—whether scaling up a dish, converting imperial to metric, or interpreting vague culinary terms like pinches and dashes.
History
Culinary measurements evolved from practical traditions: teaspoons and tablespoons from everyday utensils in the 17th century, cups and ounces from American standardization in the 19th century, and pinches or dashes from intuitive cooking methods dating back centuries. This category bridges these historical practices with modern precision.
