Off the top of your head, do you know how many teaspoons there are in a tablespoon?
And how many tablespoons are there in a fluid ounce? I was surprised when I found out the numbers?

I always thought it was 2.5 tsp/tbsp and 2 tbsp to fl oz
I believe there are 3 teaspoons in a tablespoon. I can’t remember exactly how many teaspoons or tablespoons in a fluid oz.
depends on the size of the teaspoon and tablespoon. They come in all sorts of different sizes
Oh, as per how many T are in a fluid ounce, just a guess, 8.
@ragingloli I am guessing the q is referring to the standard baking measurement of teaspoon and tablespoon, as opposed to table utensils, which do vary greatly in size.
3 in a TBLS. No clue as to the rest. I use a measuring cup IF I measure.
6 tsp in a fluid oz.
I’ve been making stuff that requires precise measurements for awhile, I have bunches of weird factoids in my brain.
Without looking at answers, I know how many teaspoons in a tablespoon, and I know how many tablespoons in a ¼ cup, so in turn I can figure out how many tablespoons in an ounce, but I didn’t know how many in an ounce off of the top of my head.
Just tested it. 1 heaped teaspoon was about 6g. 1 heaped tablespoon was about 14g. So 1 tablespoon is about 2.333 teaspoons.
@ragingloli , Did you use a teaspoon an tablespoon measuring device, or did you just choose a teaspoon and a tablespoon?
I was surprised by the number of people who knew that there are 3 teaspoons in a tablespoon. My instinct is that there should be about 2. As far as two tablespoons per fluid ounce that always seemed to be too few.
I of course used a teaspoon and a tablespoon.
When you use the teaspoon and tablespoon, it’s not supposed to be heaping, it’s supposed to be flat (like if you put flour or sugar on the teaspoon and level it off).
