If you’re making a spice rub or a marinade, guess what? Exact measurements are overrated. Pouring a heaping ½ teaspoon plus a tiny ¼ is fine. Cooking is art, not algebra.
But for baking? Do not cheat. Baking is a science lab where your taste buds are the test subjects. A little extra baking soda and your bread tastes like a sad, metallic cave.
Use a digital scale for ultimate nerd points. ¾ teaspoon of salt weighs about 4.5 grams. Weigh it like a chemist—your cookies will thank you.

Measure it with a bar spoon: one bar spoon is about 1/8 teaspoon. So, six bar spoons of lime juice = ¾ teaspoon. That’s bartender math, and it makes you look insanely professional.
Now you can make a spectacular margarita and blame the ¾ teaspoon for your new cocktail-lord status. You’re welcome.
