Understanding the Units
What is a Teaspoon?
In baking, teaspoon measurements are critical for ingredients where precision changes the outcome. Too much baking soda (1 tsp = 6g) creates a metallic taste, while too little means flat results.
What is an Ounce?
Ounces are commonly used in US recipes for cheese, meat, chocolate, and other ingredients sold by weight. Many kitchen scales offer both gram and ounce readings.
