Tablespoon to Teaspoon Conversions
Many recipes specify small amounts of an ingredient in terms of spoonfuls, either a tablespoonful or a teaspoonful, these can be level, rounded or heaped depending on the ingredient and the author of the recipe. For the purpose of our conversions a rounded spoon is considered to be equal to 2 level spoons and a heaped spoon to 3 level spoons.
The converters below give conversions between tablespoons and teaspoons for the US, UK, Canada, South Africa and Australia. The first converter covers the majority of countries, with the Australian spoon converter being seperate as the Australian tablespoon is defined as 4 teaspoons, rather than the 3 that is used elsewhere. The Australian conversions can also be used when dealing with older British recipes as the UK tablespoon used to be larger than the currently accepted standard.
