Measuring Tip
For liquids, place your measuring spoon on a flat surface and read at eye level. The bottom of the meniscus (the curve at the surface) should align with the measurement line.
Understanding the Units
What is a Gram?
Weighing ingredients in grams eliminates the variability of volume measurements. A cup of flour can weigh anywhere from 120g to 160g depending on how it was scooped, but 120g of flour is always 120g of flour.
What is a Teaspoon?
One teaspoon holds about 5 milliliters. There are 3 teaspoons in a tablespoon and 48 teaspoons in a cup. Teaspoon accuracy matters most with leaveners like baking powder and baking soda, where small differences affect rise and texture.

If you have a kitchen scale, weighing heavy cream gives you an exact starting point for this conversion. If you need to measure by volume instead, use a liquid measuring spoon on a flat surface and read the level at eye height.
Very close. Pure liquid densities are consistent across brands, so the grams to teaspoons conversion for heavy cream typically varies by less than 2-3%.
The same weight of different ingredients fills different volumes because each ingredient has a different density. A gram of heavy cream fills a different number of teaspoons than a gram of a lighter or heavier ingredient. That is why this converter needs to know which ingredient you are measuring.
