It is the largest spoon in a standard measuring set and is crucial for measuring oils, sauces, and leavening agents. tablespoons are commonly used in Recipe ingredients (oil, sugar), Medicine dosing, Serving sizes (e.g., peanut butter), and Coffee grounds.
A coffee scoop is typically 2 tablespoons.
