help with measurement conversions....

[firerescueman]

HELP!!!

I have a found a recipe that a friend of mine gave me a long time ago for his home made BBQ sauce that I absolutely LOVED!

I have the recipe,  but some of the ingredients are measured in ounces......  I need help converting the following:


1/3 oz  Garlic Powder

1 oz black pepper

1/4 oz celery seed

1/4 oz mustard seed



I need to know how many teaspoons / tablespoons, etc for each of the amounts above.  If the recipe turns out good,  I will post it here for everyone to share.  If you can at least point me in the direction of a proper conversion chart it would be a big help.   I found a couple of conversion charts buit the refer to liquid measurements.  I don't know how far off those measurements would be from what I need.




HELP!!!




THANK YOU!!!

This might help: http://www.ask.com/web?q=ounce%20teaspoon%20conversion&o=2833&ef_id=1370:3:49e4a270922fe67a37b1985a2421b9d2_3505568785:SrhOL9BbriYAAGlscg0AAAVA:20090922041023

If i did it right:

1/3 oz is 1.9998 ts ...2
1 oz is 6 ts
1/4 oz is 1.5 ts

Double check those

Thanks again!

Jeff, you are welcome and post that BBq sauce recipe

Most of the by-weight recipes I've seen are used for cake or bread.  It seems a little unusual for a BBQ sauce.

In general, be careful with the conversions.  Different spices and such have different weights for the same volume.  For example, a TBS of pickling salt will weigh more than a TBS of coarse Kosher salt.  The pickling salt is much finer and so will be more salt by weight per TBS.  The same thing holds for anything that is fine vs coarse vs unground.

It probably doesn't matter that much for BBQ sauce.  I usually just throw 'stuff' in until it tastes good; I'm not all that good with recipes.  :)  And, you could always invest in a decent kitchen scale; they're not that expensive.  I've thought of that, but I figured I wouldn't use it all that much and so never bothered.  Good luck.  Keep notes and keep tuning it up until you like the result.

Here is a conversion table for most common herbs and spices.

Spice Volume to Weight Table

I had a couple of book marks for online calculators, but can't find the bookmark this morning.

EDITED:

Here is one calculator; it not the easiest to use, but there are others on the web. Make sure you read the full instructions. It makes the conversion a lot easier.
