The C in recipes means cups or cup.

So when you see a recipe call for a C of something it means you need a cup of those ingredients.

1 cup in a spoon means 16 tablespoons or a pint, quart or 8 fluid ounces.

3/4 of a teaspoon means 75 percent of a teaspoon which is when you fill up a teaspoon 3/4 of the way.

There are a few ways to measure ¾ teaspoon using tools you already have in your house.

The best way to do this is to combine smaller amounts using measurement spoons to equal ¾ teaspoon.

Add ¼ teaspoon 3 times. Any of these ways will work well for creating ¾ teaspoon without guessing.

A 1/4 a cup is equal to 4 tablespoons so 3 tbsp is less than 1/4 cup.

And there are 16 tablespoons in 1 cup.

A 1/4 cup is bigger than 2 tablespoons as there are 4 tablespoons in 1/4 of a cup.

1/4 cup means 12 teaspoons in teaspoons because 1/4 cup = 1/4 × 48 = 12 Teaspoons.

There are 8 teaspoons in 16.7 of a cup and in 1 cup there are 48 teaspoons.

In 3/4 cup there are 36 teaspoons and in 2/3 of a cup there are 32 teaspoons.

A teaspoon is equal to around  the size of 1/3rd of a tablespoon or a teaspoon is equal to 0.17 fluid ounces.

A teaspoon is 5ml, so if you have metric measuring items, such as a measuring jug or even a clean medicine cap, you can do a quick measurement that way.

Otherwise, the tip of your index finger from your first knuckle to the tip is roughly equal around a teaspoon.

There are 5.33 tablespoons in a 1/3 cup.

A 1/4 teaspoon is 2 good pinches of ingredients between your thumb as well as both your forefinger and middle finger.

And if you don't have a 1/4 teaspoon measuring spoon, you can use a kitchen scale for the best results.

If you don't have a kitchen scale, you'll be forced to guess by filling up one teaspoon and removing what you assume is 1/4 teaspoon from the top.

A tablespoon is not the same as 1/4 cup but instead 1 tablespoon is the same as 1/16 of a cup.

4 tablespoons is the same as 1/4 cup.

A regular spoon is 1 tablespoon as a normal spoon that you eat with is known as a tablespoon.

A tablespoon is near the size of your thumb.

A thumb is about the size of a tablespoon and the length from the tip of the thumb to the first knuckle is about the size of a teaspoon.

Another way to estimate a teaspoon is to use the top of a plastic water bottle.

A teaspoon is equal to around 1/3rd of a tablespoon or a teaspoon is equal to 0.17 fluid ounces.

A teaspoon is 5ml, so if you have metric measuring items, such as a measuring jug or even a clean medicine cap, you can do a quick measurement that way.

Otherwise, the tip of your index finger from your first knuckle to the tip is roughly equal around a teaspoon.

A tablespoon is 15ml.

A small spoon is called a teaspoon also known as a tsp.

A teaspoon is a small spoon which is used for stirring up a cup of tea, coffee, measuring ingredients etc.

A big spoon is called a Ladle.

Ladles have the largest and deepest spoon mouth out of all the cooking spoon types.

Lades are commonly used to scoop up large portions of soups, stews sauces etc.

A soup spoon is a tablespoon.

If you have spoons in your house to eat with then you have a tablespoon to measure with.

To measure 1 tsp you can use a regular food eating spoon also known as a tablespoon.

Or you can use 3 teaspoons to measure 1 tsp.

Half of 1 tablespoon is equal to 1-1/2 tsp.

1 tsp is not half a tablespoon but instead 1 tsp is 1/3 tbsp or tablespoon.

4 teaspoons is more than 1 tablespoon as 1 tablespoon contains 3 teaspoons.

Half of 1 tbsp is equivalent to 1 ½ tsp.

3 teaspoons make 1 tablespoon.

A simple spoon that you eat with can be used for measuring 1 tablespoon as it is a tablespoon.

1 tablespoon is the same as 3 teaspoons so if you don't have teaspoons but have a tablespoon then 1 tablespoon can be used when recipes call for 3 teaspoons of an ingredient.

2 teaspoons does not make 1 tablespoon but 3 teaspoons does make 1 tablespoon.

2 teaspoons makes 2/3rd of a tablespoon.

The amount of teaspoons that go into a tablespoon are 3 teaspoons.

1 tablespoon is equal to 3 teaspoons.

A tbsp or tablespoon is bigger than a tsp or teaspoon.

Tsp stands for teaspoon which is smaller.

Tbsp stands for tablespoon which is larger.

A teaspoon (abbreviated as tsp.) and a tablespoon (tbsp. or tbs.) are both units of measurement (volume) that are typically used in cooking and baking.

A tablespoon is bigger.

one tablespoon equals three teaspoons (1 tbsp = 3 tsp).

Dashes, pinches, and smidgens are all traditionally very small amounts well under a teaspoon, but not more uniformly defined.

In the early 2000s some companies began selling measuring spoons that defined a dash as 1⁄8 teaspoon, a pinch as 1⁄16 teaspoon, and a smidgen as 1⁄32 teaspoon.

A tablespoon is a unit of measure equal to 1/16 cup, 3 teaspoons, or 1/2 fluid ounce in the USA.

It is either approximately or (in some countries) exactly equal to 15 ml.

"Tablespoon" may be abbreviated as T (note: uppercase letter), tbl, tbs or tbsp.
