About converting Teaspoons to Tablespoons
Teaspoons (tsp) and Tablespoons (tbsp) are both units of volume, so converting between them is a single multiplication: multiply your Teaspoons figure by 0.3333. Ten Teaspoons comes to 3.3333 Tablespoons, and a hundred works out at 33.3333 Tablespoons.
Rule of thumb: going from Teaspoons to Tablespoons divides, so the figure always shrinks — it takes about 3 Teaspoons to make a single Tablespoon. If your answer came out bigger, you have the conversion the wrong way round.
What is a Teaspoon?
The teaspoon is the smallest unit most kitchens ever measure, and it is the base the spoon system is built on — a tablespoon is defined as three of them. It is precise enough for baking powder, salt and vanilla, where the gap between a level spoon and a heaped one decides whether a cake rises. What it should not be used for is medicine: health authorities discourage dosing by teaspoon precisely because the spoons people actually reach for vary widely in size, and recommend a marked oral syringe or dosing cup in milliliters instead.
What is a Tablespoon?
A tablespoon in US cooking is three teaspoons, or half a US fluid ounce — a definition tidy enough that the whole kitchen spoon system hangs off it. The trap is international: the Australian tablespoon is 20 mL, four teaspoons rather than three, so an Australian recipe followed with an American spoon falls short on every tablespoon it calls for. It is also worth knowing that a tablespoon as a measure has nothing to do with whatever spoon is in your cutlery drawer. The sets sold for cooking are calibrated; the ones you eat with are not.
To put both in perspective: a teaspoon is the standard measure for baking powder in a recipe, while a tablespoon is roughly a generous spoonful of olive oil.
