Measuring small amounts in teaspoons
Leavening agents and salt have a big effect on a recipe, so small measuring mistakes matter. A teaspoon of table salt weighs about 6 g, a teaspoon of baking soda about 4.6 g, and a teaspoon of baking powder about 4 g. Granulated sugar comes in at roughly 4.2 g per teaspoon.
The US teaspoon holds 4.93 ml, and three teaspoons make one tablespoon. Level the spoon with a straight edge for the most accurate result.
Example: 6 g salt ÷ 6.1 g = about 1 tsp
