How to convert tablespoons to milliliters
Cooking tablespoons and milliliters bridge US recipe spoon measures with metric volume tools. In cooking conversions, 1 tablespoon is standardized at 15 mL (slightly more than the US customary 14.79 mL). This matches the metric tablespoon used in Australia, New Zealand, and the UK.
Multiply tablespoons by 15 to get milliliters. Formula: mL = tbsp × 15. 2 tbsp = 30 mL. 3 tbsp = 45 mL. 4 tbsp (¼ cup) = 60 mL.
International recipes, nutrition labels, and medicine dosing commonly use the 15 mL tablespoon standard. When precision matters in baking, use mL measurements.
Key values: 1 tbsp = 15 mL, 1 tsp = 5 mL, 3 tsp = 1 tbsp. 16 tbsp = 1 cup = 240 mL.
