If you struggle to remember some cooking ratios and measurements, I found a few kitchen mnemonics that might help you out.
They cover pints and pounds, rice, and table setting.
Use them to help yourself and/or your kids.
Here they are.
Kitchen Mnemonics
Measurement
You can remember the relationship between a pint and a pound (both 16 oz.) with this simple phrase.
A pint’s a pound the world around.
Cooking Rice
Do you know the water to rice ratio for cooking rice? If not, just remember this:
Cooking rice? Water’s twice.
Setting the Table
Here’s something that will help you teach your kids to set the table properly.
Think of the table setting as being divided in half with the big dinner plate in the middle.
The LEFT side is for items with an EVEN number of letters just like the word LEFT has an even number of letters. So the NAPKIN (6 letters) and the FORK (4 letters) go on the LEFT side.
The RIGHT side is for items with an ODD number of letters just like the word RIGHT has an even number of letters. That means the KNIFE, SPOON, and GLASS go on the RIGHT side.

Many blessings,
