I'm doing a project for spanish class and I would like to know what are the Measurements that we use for cooking in spanish. I don't want the metric units, nor do i need them.

I´ll just give you a basic list off the top of my head:
cup=taza teaspoon=cucharita tablespoon=cucharra liter=litro pound=libre kilogram=kilograma (the short form is "kilo")
I´m not sure if there are really any others. Let me know if you are missing some.

Quick little note: I think Pound is "librA", not "libre," which means "free" as in freedom. - RedLine55, Mar 2, 2012
I agree with RedLine... :) - NikkiLR, Mar 2, 2012
sorry, you´re absolutely right, my fault. - smsmith, Mar 2, 2012
Cuchara also only has one R. - missy8888, Mar 2, 2012
yeah, no problem smsmith.. yo hablaba con mi carnicero hace unos días y dije "una libre de puerco para tacos, por favor," y respondió "una libre, señor!??!" haha... so I won't forget that one! - RedLine55, Mar 2, 2012
