About Tablespoon Measurements

There are two common tablespoon measurements used worldwide:

  • US Tablespoon (US tbsp): Exactly 14.7868 milliliters, commonly used in the United States and some other countries.
  • Metric Tablespoon (tbsp): Exactly 15 milliliters, used in most metric countries and in international recipes.

For most cooking purposes, the difference between these measurements (about 0.2 ml) is negligible. However, when precise measurements are required, particularly in pharmaceutical or scientific contexts, it's important to specify which tablespoon measurement you're using.

Tip: When following a recipe, check its origin to determine which measurement system to use. US recipes typically use US tablespoons, while international or metric recipes use 15ml tablespoons.
