Level off the tablespoon with the back of a knife for consistent dry measurements.
For liquid ingredients like honey or oil, a digital scale is more accurate than tablespoon measures.
About this tablespoons to grams tool
Tablespoon measurements appear constantly in recipes — for butter, flour, sugar, spices and condiments. Converting tablespoons to grams requires knowing the ingredient, since different substances have very different densities: one tablespoon of butter weighs approximately 14 grams, while one tablespoon of cocoa powder weighs only 5 grams.
This tablespoons to grams converter is ingredient-aware, using the actual density of each ingredient rather than a generic conversion factor. It also shows the millilitre equivalent, which is useful for liquid and semi-liquid ingredients.
One important note: the standard tablespoon size varies slightly by country. A UK and US tablespoon is 15ml (14.79ml for US, 15ml for UK — effectively the same). An Australian tablespoon is 20ml. Our converter uses the UK/US 15ml standard.
For dry ingredients, always use proper measuring spoons rather than regular cutlery. A dessert spoon or dinner spoon varies considerably in capacity. Measuring spoons are standardised and give consistent results. For even better accuracy, use kitchen scales.
