A pinch is 9.5 drops according to [link\|http://www.askthemeatman.com/measurement_conversion_calculato1.htm\|this]. But it's not a liquid, so that doesn't help much.... One could simply use pre-measured packets like [link\|http://nowfoods.com/?action=itemdetail&item_id=16490\|these] (from the original link). ;-) Cheers, Scott.

In the sense I meant it, depending on the recipe, it could be just a tiny bit between the thumb and forefinger, or half a handful. When I curl my hand, it makes a depression that holds a teaspoon. When I open my hand more it becomes a tablespoon. If you have to be anal about measurement, use aliquot portions and things will usually work out. Unless you're baking, in which case all bets are off.
