This Kitchen Cheat Sheet Has Weights, Measures, Cuts of Meat, and More


Whether you need to know the part of the cow the brisket comes from, how many grams are in an ounce, how long to steam an artichoke, or how long fish keeps in the freezer, this graphic can tell you. Dubbed the "ultimate kitchen cheat sheet," it's packed with conversions, butcher's charts, food safety info, and more.

The whole chart includes weight and measurement conversions, butcher's cuts, meat roasting times by weight (although we still think that temperature is a better way to measure doneness), cooking times for vegetables and gains, some handy food storage tips (like the best way to stack your fridge and the temperature you should keep it at to keep everything fresh as long as possible), and some guidelines for how long that food will stay good in the fridge and freezer. Scroll down to check out the entire chart.

The bulk of the information is in metric, and the cuts of meat are pretty universal, but many of them are European (and thus slightly different than some of the names you'll see in American stores), so keep that in mind if you print it off and put it on your fridge or kitchen wall. It's not a perfect chart to be sure, but it's pretty solid overall. Click "expand" below to blow up the chart, or hit the link below to see a larger version.
