Measuring Water in spoons
Water is the simplest spoon conversion of all: one tablespoon of water weighs 15 grams and one teaspoon weighs 5 grams. Fill the spoon level, not heaped, since water cannot heap and any dome above the rim is already spilled.
Spoon amounts for Water
One tablespoon of water weighs 15 grams and one teaspoon weighs 5 grams. These values are derived from the same grams-per-cup value used on this page, so they agree with the cup chart above; they are not separate measurements.
| Spoons | Grams |
|---|---|
| 1 teaspoon | 5 grams |
| 1 tablespoon | 15 grams |
| 2 tablespoons | 30 grams |
| 3 tablespoons | 45 grams |
| 1/4 cup | 60 grams |
For amounts smaller than a teaspoon, or for baking where a few grams matter, weigh the ingredient instead of spooning it. Spoons are best for everyday cooking, where a gram or two either way changes nothing.
