About Pinch (pinch)

The cooking pinch is traditionally the amount you can hold between thumb and forefinger, roughly 0.3 mL or 1/16 teaspoon. Recipes call for 'a pinch of salt' or 'a pinch of cayenne' when a measured fraction of a teaspoon would be impractical, making it the smallest recognized cooking measure.
