There are 12 teaspoons in 2 ounces (oz). An ounce contains 6 teaspoons.
When cooking, such quick conversions are needed when the recipe is from a different part of the world.
Measurement precision is more important when baking (if you want it to be perfect) than when cooking which gives room for mistakes and miscalculations while being able to have a good outcome
An ounce is a weight measurement (measured by a weigh scale) while a teaspoon is a volume measurement (measured by the size of the container). Hence, there is a probability of mismeasuring the exact 2 oz when using a measuring teaspoon.
The above answer is referring to fluid ounces or liquid measurements as they are constant while the equivalent of 2 oz of powder or solid ingredients to teaspoons depends on the ingredient being measured.
For example, 2 oz of flour makes 21 3/4 teaspoons, 2 oz of sugar is equal to 13 5/8 teaspoons, 2 oz of melted butter is 12 teaspoons, 2 oz of honey is equal to 8 teaspoons, etc.
The differences in the equivalent teaspoons of these 2 oz ingredients vary for reasons such as the compaction of the ingredient.
To be more accurate, you need to know the ingredient being converted to teaspoons and not just interchange 12 teaspoons for all ingredients
