Understanding Pinch Measurements

A pinch is a traditional cooking measurement typically used for salt and spices. It represents the amount that can be picked up between your thumb and index finger.

Common Conversions:

  • 1 pinch = 1/16 teaspoon
  • 1 pinch = 1/2 dash
  • 1 pinch ≈ 0.3 grams (for salt)
Pro Tip:

When a recipe calls for "a pinch," it's generally safe to use 1/16 teaspoon. For precise measurements, especially in baking, use proper measuring spoons instead of actual pinches.
