About Tablespoon (tbsp)
A US culinary unit of volume equal to 1/16 of a US cup, or 3 teaspoons (about 14.79 mL). Tablespoons are the standard unit for small-quantity cooking measurements: butter, oil, herbs, sauces, and dressings. Nutrition facts panels on US foods often quote "per tablespoon" serving sizes (e.g., peanut butter, maple syrup). Note that the Australian tablespoon is 20 mL (not 15 mL), which can cause measurement issues when converting international recipes.
About Teaspoon (tsp)
A US culinary unit of volume equal to 1/3 of a tablespoon (about 4.93 mL). Teaspoons are the smallest everyday kitchen measurement — used for salt, spices, extracts, baking powder, and pharmaceutical liquid dosing. The "5 mL teaspoon" used in medicine is a rounded form of this unit. Tsp is also the standard unit in US baking recipes for yeast, leaveners, and flavorings where precision matters more than for liquid volumes.
