Convert tablespoons to grams for accurate cooking and baking
Formula: Grams = Tablespoons × 14.2g/tbsp
1 tbsp × 14.2 = 14.20g
| Tablespoons | Grams (g) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 tbsp | 7.1g |
| 1 tbsp | 14.2g |
| 1.5 tbsp | 21.3g |
| 2 tbsp | 28.4g |
| 2.5 tbsp | 35.5g |
| 3 tbsp | 42.6g |
| 4 tbsp | 56.8g |
| 5 tbsp | 71.0g |
| 6 tbsp | 85.2g |
| 8 tbsp | 113.6g |
| 10 tbsp | 142.0g |
| 12 tbsp | 170.4g |
| 16 tbsp | 227.2g |
Tablespoons are common in recipes, especially for smaller quantities of ingredients. However, like cups, a tablespoon measures volume, not weight. Converting to grams provides precision that volume measurements cannot match, especially for ingredients with varying densities.
It's important to note that tablespoon sizes vary by country:
When following international recipes, verify which tablespoon measurement is being used. Australian recipes in particular can produce very different results if you use US tablespoons.
It varies by ingredient. Water is about 14.8g per tablespoon, butter is 14.2g, flour is 7.8g, and honey is 21g. Always use ingredient-specific conversions for accuracy in cooking and baking.
No! US tablespoons are 14.8 mL, UK/Canadian tablespoons are 15 mL, and Australian tablespoons are 20 mL. This converter uses US measurements. When using Australian recipes, you'll need to adjust.
Yes, for dry ingredients, always level off tablespoons with a straight edge for consistent measurements. Heaped tablespoons can contain significantly more ingredient, affecting your recipe results.
Yes, but remember that different liquids have different densities. Water is 14.8g, milk is 15.3g, honey is 21g, and oil is 13.6g per tablespoon. For liquids, volume measurements are often sufficient.
