a recipe calls for 1 teaspoon of thyme and 10 0z of Okra.?

Question

if i use 1 and a forth pounds of okra how many tsp ofthyme do i use?

Answer 1

Just doubling would call for two teaspoons of thyme,but spices & herbs do not usually fall in line with the doubling trick ,from experience in general cooking & okra which we use a lot in Indian cusine,I would say play safe,use just a teaspoon & a half.

Answer 2

A pound is 16 oz so 1 1/4 pound is 20 oz. You would use 2 teaspoons if you were just doubling the recipe. That will probably work fine. Sometimes you have to be careful with spices because doubling doesn't always work the way you think -especially in baking. Hope this helps and your recipe turns out.

Answer 3

1 teaspoon thyme and 10 oz or 0.625 lb of okra

so 1/4 lb of okra will need about 0.4 teaspoon - let's just call it 1/2 teaspoon

Answer 4

abotu 1½ - 2 tsp. thyme

But ewww, I can't imagine those 2 together!
