Tips
Always use a level teaspoon for baking — heaped teaspoons of baking powder or bicarbonate of soda can ruin a recipe.
Use proper measuring spoons rather than cutlery. A dessert spoon is not a teaspoon.
For very small amounts (under 1 tsp), a digital scale accurate to 0.1g is more reliable than measuring spoons.
About this teaspoons to grams tool
Teaspoons appear in virtually every recipe for small quantities of salt, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, spices and vanilla extract. Because these ingredients are used in small amounts, precise measurement matters: too much baking powder causes cakes to collapse, and too much salt is obvious in the finished dish.
This teaspoons to grams converter uses the actual density of each ingredient. Salt weighs approximately 6 grams per teaspoon, baking powder about 4 grams, and flour roughly 2.6 grams. Applying a generic conversion would give wrong results for most ingredients.
The converter also shows the millilitre equivalent. A standard teaspoon holds 5ml worldwide (the US teaspoon is technically 4.93ml, but the difference is negligible). This consistency makes teaspoons one of the most reliable small measuring tools in the kitchen.
For the most accurate results with critical baking ingredients like baking powder and bicarbonate of soda, a digital scale accurate to 0.1 grams is the most reliable tool. The small quantities involved mean even minor variations in volume can significantly affect the result.
