Understanding the Units
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.
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.
