SwitchExplanation
This page converts grams of shortening into teaspoons using the teaspoon measure tied to the same ingredient density. Since 1 teaspoon is 1/48 of a US cup, spoon and cup estimates stay on the same basis.
That is useful when a recipe is written by weight but your kitchen workflow still uses spoons. That is especially useful for dressings, pan work, baking, and sauces where a poured volume needs to match a target weight more closely. Shortening behaves like a pourable fat, so temperature, viscosity, and exact formulation can shift real kitchen weight slightly even when the page keeps one fixed basis.
