Frequently Asked Questions
How many teaspoons are in a tablespoon?
Three. So multiply tablespoons by 3: 2 tbsp = 6 tsp.
How many teaspoons are in a quarter cup?
A US cup is 16 tablespoons, so a quarter cup is 4 tbsp, which is 12 teaspoons.
Is a tablespoon the same size everywhere?
Nearly, with one exception. A US tablespoon is 14.8 mL and a UK or metric one 15 mL, both three teaspoons. An Australian tablespoon is 20 mL, four teaspoons, so Australian recipes need more care.
