Question

What do T, tb, tbs, and tbsp stand for?

Community Answer

All of these are common abbreviations for "tablespoon." Be sure to read carefully, however, as "t" and "tsp" stand for teaspoon, a much smaller measurement!

Question

What does 2/4T mean in a pizza base recipe? (I thought it would be 1/2T.)

Community Answer

It does mean 1/2. In this recipe that you are referring to I believe the creator just didn't simplify for some reason.

Question

A recipe that I would love to try calls for a measurement that I don't have. How would I measure 3/4 tablespoon of milk? And brown sugar? Can someone please help me?

Colette

Community Answer

3/4 tablespoon is equal to 2¼ teaspoons. (You'll just have to estimate the ¼ teaspoon.) To measure the brown sugar, pack it down into the measuring cup.

So if we use 3 teaspoons it also makes 1 tablespoon, right?

Yes. A teaspoon is 1/3 of a tablespoon, which is a handy trick to know, especially if your tablespoon is dirty and you need to measure dry ingredients.
