Tablespoons to milliliters

The tablespoon in American recipes is a defined measure, not the spoon from the cutlery drawer: one US tablespoon is 14.7868 ml, half a fluid ounce, and three teaspoons. Metric recipes usually treat a tablespoon as a round 15 ml — the difference is 1.4 %, invisible in cooking. Australia is the exception with a 20 ml tablespoon, so Australian recipes need a different factor.

Converting

Multiply tablespoons by 14.7868, or by 15 for kitchen purposes.

  • 1/2 tbsp = 7.39 ml
  • 1 tbsp = 14.79 ml
  • 2 tbsp = 29.57 ml (one fluid ounce)
  • 3 tbsp = 44.36 ml
  • 4 tbsp = 59.15 ml (a quarter cup)
  • 6 tbsp = 88.72 ml
  • 8 tbsp = 118.29 ml (half a cup)
  • 16 tbsp = 236.59 ml (one cup)

Spoons, cups and ounces

The US system nests neatly: 3 teaspoons = 1 tablespoon, 2 tablespoons = 1 fluid ounce, 16 tablespoons = 1 cup. Knowing that chain lets you convert a recipe without a calculator — 6 tablespoons of oil is 3 fl oz or 3/8 cup, about 89 ml.

Oil, honey and butter

Tablespoons measure volume, so a tablespoon of honey (about 21 g) weighs more than a tablespoon of oil (about 14 g). If a recipe gives grams, use a scale; if it gives tablespoons, level the spoon with a knife for dry ingredients and fill it to the brim for liquids. Butter in the US is marked in tablespoons on the wrapper: one stick is 8 tbsp, 113 g.

Medicine

Liquid medicine doses are sometimes written in tablespoons, but pharmacists strongly prefer milliliters because household spoons vary from 7 to 20 ml. Use the measuring cup or syringe that comes with the bottle.
