Tablespoons, teaspoons and dessert-spoons used in this converter

The unit of measurement for spoons varies according to the country: a US tablespoon is approximately 14.8 ml, a UK and Canadian tablespoon measures exactly 15 ml, and an Australian tablespoon is 20 ml. The Imperial Tablespoon was replaced by the metric tablespoon. The capacity of the utensil (as opposed to the measurement) may differ significantly from the measurement. Therefore it is advisable to use measuring spoons [2]. For dry ingredients, if a recipe calls for a level tablespoon we should fill the spoon and scrap its level. On the other hand, a heaped, heaping, or rounded spoonful is not leveled off, and includes a heap above the spoon.

About cups measures

The unit of measurement for cups also varies according to the country: A US cup = 236.6 ml. A metric cup = a UK cup = 250 ml. A canadian cup = 227.3 ml [3].

FDA Food Labeling

For Nutrition facts labeling a teaspoon means 5 millilitres (mL), a tablespoon means 15 mL, a cup means 240 mL, 1 fl oz means 30 mL, and 1 oz in weight means 28 g.
