Chapters 2-3

Learning Objectives List the names and abbreviations of the units of measure

most commonly used in the foodservice industry Demonstrate your understanding of the relative sizes of the

measuring tools used in the foodservice industry Recall the equivalents of volume measures without

references Recall the equivalents of weight measures without

references Explain the difference between weight and volume

measurements Define a fluid ounce and explain how it differs from an

ounce

Volume vs. Weight Volume-

the space filled by a liquid, gas or solid.

- Tesapoon (Tsp.)- Tablespoon (Tblsp.)- Fluid Ounce (Fl. oz.)- Cup (c.)- Pint (pt.)- Quart (qt.)- Gallon 9gal.)

Weight- the heaviness of a substance.

- Ounce (oz.)- Pound (# or lb.)

Volume vs. Weight Liquids are measured by volume Solids and dry ingredients are measured by

weight. Liquids can be accurately measured by

weight. Some small critical dry ingredients may be

measured by volume.

Equivalents Volume

3 tsp. = 1 Tbsp. 2 Tbsp. = 1 fl. oz. 8 fl. oz. = 1 cup 2 cups = 1 pint 2 pints = 1 quart 4 quarts = 1 gallon

(Except for the United States) Why should you learn it?

Working in other countries. Working with recipes/formulas from other

countries. Measuring Wine & Spirits. When purchasing ingredients from overseas.

Metric Units of Measure Liter – L (volume) Gram – g (weight)

PREFIXES Kilo = 1,000 Deka = 10 Deci = .1 (1/10) Centi = .01 (1/100) Milli = .001 (1/1000)

Metric Prefixes GRAM

Kilogram = 1000 grams Dekagram = 10 grams Decigram = .1 grams Centigram = .01 grams Milligram = .001 gram

LITER Kiloliter = 1000 Liters Dekaliter = 10 Liters Deciliter = .1 Liter Centiliter = .01 Liter Milliliter = .001 Liter

Metric Equivalents 1 oz. = 28.35 grams 1 kilogram = 2.21 pounds 1 liter = 33.8 fl. oz.
