About
A teaspoon is a small eating utensil measuring under six inches long, commonly used for stirring drinks and measuring ingredients.
A teaspoon is notably smaller than a dinner spoon or a tablespoon, which often measures over 7 inches (18 cm) in length. In cooking and medicine, a standardized measuring teaspoon holds exactly 0.17 fluid ounces (5 mL). However, everyday tableware teaspoons vary in liquid capacity from about 0.08 to 0.25 fluid ounces (2.5 to 7.3 mL). Because of this large variance, regular silverware teaspoons are not recommended for dosing liquid medicine.
