Plastic Spoons: Ml Measurements And Conversions

Plastic spoons come in a variety of sizes, from small spoons used for eating yoghurt or stirring coffee to larger soup spoons. A small plastic spoon holds around 5ml, or 1 teaspoon, while a ¼ teaspoon holds 1.2ml.

A teaspoon is 5ml

A teaspoon is a unit of volume measure equal to 1/3 of a tablespoon. This means that 3 teaspoons are equal to 1 tablespoon. In millilitres, this is 15ml.

A tablespoon is 15ml

The tablespoon is a standardised unit of volume measure. It is used to measure out quantities of liquid or dry ingredients in cooking and baking. It is also used as a unit of measurement in medicine, although it is not recommended to use a kitchen spoon to measure out medication doses.

The tablespoon is a useful measure to know in the kitchen. It is often used in recipes to measure out larger quantities of ingredients than can be measured with a teaspoon. For example, you might use a tablespoon to measure out oil for a salad dressing, or to measure out flour when baking.

The tablespoon is also a convenient measure for portioning out food. For example, one tablespoon of peanut butter is roughly equivalent to one serving. This can be a helpful way to ensure you are not eating too much of a particular food.

A 1/4 teaspoon is 1.2ml

It's important to note that kitchen spoons shouldn't be used for measuring oral liquid doses, as they are not precise enough and could lead to incorrect dosing. Most liquid medications will come with their own measuring devices, such as a dosing syringe or a measuring spoon or cup.

When measuring liquids, it's also important to remember that 1ml is equal to 1cc, and that a teaspoon is a unit of volume measure equal to 1/3 tablespoon. So, for example, 2.5ml is equal to 1/2 teaspoon, and 3 teaspoons make up 1 tablespoon.

A 1/2 teaspoon is 2.5ml

A standardised teaspoon is 5ml, and a standardised tablespoon is 15ml. However, the volume of a teaspoon can vary depending on the type of spoon. For example, a soup spoon or dinner spoon has a deeper bowl than a small spoon, and a tablespoon is bigger still.
