What does 1 teaspoon means in cooking?

In cooking, 1 teaspoon (tsp) is a standard unit of volume measurement equal to 5 milliliters (ml). It's about the amount you can hold in the space between your thumb and forefinger.

Here's a helpful visual:

* Think of a standard teaspoon: The kind you use for sugar, honey, or spices.

Important notes:

* Don't confuse teaspoons with tablespoons: A tablespoon (tbsp) is 3 teaspoons, so be careful when following recipes!

* Measuring spoons can vary: Make sure your measuring spoon is actually a teaspoon, and not a "teaspoon" sized spoon for stirring.
