How many teaspoons are in a fluid ounce? |
[Edit] |
1 fluid ounce = 6 teaspoons
Note that this is for liquid ounces, not dry ounces.
* See the Related Questions to the left for some useful conversions between weight and volume.
A liquid ounce is a measure of volume, and a dry ounce is a measure of weight. A teaspoon is a measure of volume. You cannot go from teaspoons to dry ounces without knowing the density of the thing you are measuring.
Dry ounces are a measure of weight. Teaspoons are a measure of volume. A teaspoon of lead weighs a lot more than a teaspoon of water. Most liquids that we are going to measure using a teaspoon are going to be close enough to the ratio shown above to be OK, but don't confuse the two. Bakers routinely measure certain ingredients by weight to account for changes in moisture content.
