What's the difference between an egg spoon and a teaspoon?
From left to right:
Egg spoon, mini spoon, teaspoon, tablespoon, grapefruit spoon, dinner fork
Egg spoon and mini spoon are about the same. The egg spoon is used for soft-boiled eggs and nothing else.
The mini-spoon is use for stirring sugar/dairy into tea/coffee, nothing else. You could call it a teaspoon in that it’s used for tea, I suppose, but it measures out to a little more than a quarter-teaspoon, though it’s never used for that, because the sugar pot came with its own little ceramic spoon.
The teaspoon measures out around a teaspoon, just a bit more. It gets used here as a dessert spoon most of the time.
The tablespoon measures right at a tablespoon and is our all-purpose eating spoon, mainly for soup. They do make dedicated soup spoons here, more rounded with deeper bowls, but we see those mostly in restaurants.
The grapefruit spoon I included because I forgot those. It’s about teaspoon-sized and has serrated edges. We don’t eat grapefruit, so I don’t know why we’ve kept those.
Dinner fork for scale.
