How to use it
- Enter weight, measuring spoons and your own weighed teaspoon in grams (optional).
- The result appears straight away and updates as you edit.
- Copy the result, or copy a link that keeps the same values to share it.
How it is calculated
teaspoons = grams ÷ 2.333 g and tablespoons = grams ÷ 7 g, from the source: 1 tbsp = 7 g. The teaspoon figure is derived by volume from the listed one (1 tbsp = 3 tsp, 1 cup = 48 tsp). The spoon measure is rounded to the nearest 1/4 teaspoon. For metric spoons the weight is multiplied by the volume ratio: 5 ÷ 4.929 for a teaspoon and 15 ÷ 14.787 for a tablespoon, about 1.4% more.
Example
Inputs: Weight = 20 g, Measuring spoons = US spoons (as in the source). Result: Teaspoons: 8.57; Tablespoons: 2.86; As a spoon measure: 2 tbsp + 2 1/2 tsp.
Limits and caveats
- The spoon measure is rounded to the nearest 1/4 teaspoon; the decimal count is more exact.
- It assumes unsweetened gelatin powder and does not cover gelatin sheets, which are counted or weighed.
Questions about this tool
How many teaspoons is 10 g of gelatin?
About 4.3 teaspoons, roughly one tablespoon and one and a quarter teaspoons.
How many envelopes is 14 g of gelatin?
Two, since USDA lists an envelope at 7 g.
Does it change with metric measuring spoons?
Slightly. The figures are for US spoons (4.93 mL and 14.79 mL); metric spoons of 5 mL and 15 mL hold about 1.4% more, so pick "Metric spoons" to adjust.
