1 2 tsp is not equal to 1 tsp.

1 2 tsp means one and a half teaspoons which is more than 1 teaspoon.

1 tsp means one full teaspoon and 1 2 tsp means one teaspoon as well as half a teaspoon which is 1.5 teaspoons.

The measure that equals 1 tablespoons is 3 teaspoons or 1/16 cup or 1/2 fluid ounce.

1 tablespoon is equal to 3 teaspoons.

In one cup there are 16 tablespoons.

In 1/2 cup there are 8 tablespoons.

HR in cooking means hour and HRS means hours.

The HR or HRS refers to how long you should cook or bake a recipe for.

There are also other cooking abbreviations which include min or mins which stands for minute and minutes and sec or secs which stands for second and seconds.

FL means fluid ounce in cooking and is often used for liquid ingredients.

To measure fluid ounces in a recipe you can use a glass measuring cup to measure the proper amount of fluid ounces of the ingredient.

An uppercase T stands for tablespoon in cooking and the lower case t stands for teaspoon in cooking.

F in cooking means Fahrenheit which is a unit of measurement for temperature.

The letter G stands for gram in cooking which is a unit of measurement for mass or weight.

Grams are a metric unit of measurement which is used to measure solid ingredients in cooking recipes.

Grams are also used on nutrition labels.

The best way to know how many grams you have as an ingredient is to use a digital sale that converts between metric and imperial measurements.

You can also use a measuring cup or a spoon to estimate the amount of grams.

L in cooking recipes means liters and "mL" means milliliters, Kg means kilograms and °C means degrees Celsius.

An example of measuring in grams would be "one cup of unsifted flour is usually around 120 grams", but the weight can vary depending on the type of flour.

Other common cooking abbreviations for measuring include.

Teaspoon = t or tsp.
Tablespoon = T, TB, or tbsp.
Cup = C or c.
Pint = pt.
Quart = qt.
Gallon = gal.
