What is the difference between a teaspoon and a tablespoon?
The size is the primary distinction between a teaspoon and a tablespoon. As compared to tablespoons, teaspoons look smaller and have a narrower bowl or scoop. They are often used for stirring tea or coffee after adding some sugar to it as well as eating desserts or cakes. Both types of spoons can also be used to measure out spices and other ingredients. A teaspoon is used to measure or add lesser amounts of ingredients and is smaller than a tablespoon. The difference between their volume is more or less triple so if a tablespoon is 10 g of flour, the teaspoon holds 3, while a tablespoon holds 15 g of water or milk, a teaspoon holds 5 g.
