Teaspoon measure

[derrynoose]

In a recipe where the recommended quantity is one teaspoonful, is this taken to be a heaped or a level spoonful? Thanks.

level

[slinky.kate]

it would probably say heaped if it was ,so level

[gingejbee]

....unless it's a liquid, then it's heaped!

[ethandron]

i'd say somewhere between the two - not completely levelled off with a knife, and not a huge heaped one.

[madmaggot]

A teaspoon is 5ml derry.

If it's liquid, then obviously level. If dry ingredients, the recipe should state level or heaped.

Rounded, halfway between the two, as Ethandron says

[NazNomad]

5 ml

If the recipe didn't specify heaped, then it's level.

ah, madmaggot beat me to it, I never saw that. ^^
