About Teaspoons
A teaspoon (tsp) is a US customary and cooking measurement unit equal to 1/3 of a tablespoon - approximately 4.929 mL. It is fundamental to cooking and baking worldwide: nearly every recipe in US-published cookbooks uses teaspoons as the basic small measurement for spices, baking powder, vanilla, and other minor ingredients. In medicine, over-the-counter liquid medications (especially children's doses) are measured in teaspoons, with 5 mL the standard metric equivalent used on US medication labels. Three teaspoons make one tablespoon, and six teaspoons make one fluid ounce.
About Tablespoons
A tablespoon (tbsp) is a US customary cooking measurement equal to 3 teaspoons or 1/2 fluid ounce - approximately 14.787 mL. It is the standard 'large spoon' measurement in hundreds of millions of American recipes - used for butter portions, oil, sugar, sauce, and condiment quantities. Outside cooking, tablespoons appear in DIY instructions, garden fertilizer dosages, and cleaning product formulations. A typical soup spoon holds roughly one tablespoon. The tablespoon is the practical bridge between the tiny teaspoon and the larger cup in everyday kitchen measurement.
