It doesn’t matter for what purpose, but it is recommended to use flour in certain quantities. But what to do if there are no scales in the house to measure it. In this case, an excellent solution would be to use kitchen utensils: tablespoons, teaspoons, glasses. They are quite accurate in measuring the quantity of products, allowing for minimal errors. We will tell you how many grams of flour are in a tablespoon or teaspoon, and also, for your convenience, we will provide tables of quick measures of flour with spoons.

How much flour is in a spoon
A spoon as a measuring device is quite accurate and holds the same amount of product each time, especially in the CIS countries its sizes of each type are the same.
It is important to note that below is the weight of wheat flour in spoons without a slide and with a small slide. Other types will be discussed separately.
Dining room
According to standards, the scoop of a tablespoon is 70 mm long and 45 mm wide. It can accommodate 20 grams of flour without a slide and 25 grams with a small slide. If you take a large product, you will get all 30 grams. However, this weight will not be taken into account in the tables.
Tea room
A teaspoon is used much less often, because it can measure out much less product at a time.With dimensions of 46 mm in length and 32 mm in width, one such spoon of flour weighs 6 grams without slide, 9 grams with slide. It is difficult to grab flour with a large pile, so this amount is not considered.
Dessert
In addition to teaspoons and tablespoons, dessert spoons are also used in cooking. In terms of the size of the scoop, it is approximately one and a half times larger than a teacup and ~1.3 times smaller than a dining room. A dessert spoon without a slide fits 12 grams of flour, and with a slide - 20 grams.

How many spoons of flour in a glass
Although the amount of products in glasses is very often used in recipes, they, as a rule, have a large measurement error. This is because there are currently a great many varieties: from volume to shape. If we take them as the basis for measurement, then it is customary to keep in mind volumes of 200 ml and 250 ml.
- A faceted glass with a volume of 200 ml will fit 130 grams of unsifted flour: 6.5 tablespoons without a slide or a little more than 5 with a slide. If you take a dessert spoon, then the glass will fit about 11 without a slide and 6 with a slide, but with the addition of one more without a slide. Regarding a teaspoon - 22 without a slide and a little more than 14 with a slide.
A 250 ml glass holds 160 grams of unsifted flour: 8 level tablespoons and 6.5 with a slide. And also 13.5 dessert spoons without a slide or 8 with a slide. If you take teaspoons, then about 27 without a slide and 18 with a slide.
