What is a Tablespoon?

A tablespoon, abbreviated as Tbsp, tbsp, Tb, or T, is a unit of volume commonly used in cooking to measure ingredients like spices, sugar, oils, and liquid condiments. One tablespoon is equivalent to 1/2 fluid ounce, three teaspoons, or 15 milliliters.

  • 1 tbsp = 1/16 of a cup
  • 1 tbsp = 3 tsp
  • 1 tbsp = 15 ml
  • 1 tbsp = 1/2 fl oz

What is a Cup?

A cup, abbreviated as C or c, is a unit of volume used to measure larger quantities of ingredients like flour, sugar, and liquids. One cup is equivalent to 16 tbsp, 8 fl oz., or 237 milliliters.

  • 1 cup = 16 tbsp
  • 1 cup = 48 tsp
  • 1 cup = 237 ml
  • 1 cup = 8 fl oz

US Standard, US Legal, and Metric Cup

Let’s quickly cover the different types of cups. The primary difference between the US Standard (customary) cup, US legal cup, and metric cup is their volume. These units are used for measuring liquid and dry ingredients in cooking and baking.

  1. US Standard (customary) cup: The US customary cup is commonly used in the United States for recipes and cooking measurements. It is equivalent to 8 US fluid ounces or approximately 236.59 milliliters.
  2. US legal cup: The US legal cup is primarily used for nutrition labeling purposes in the United States by organizations like the FDA and USDA. It is a standardized unit defined as exactly 240 milliliters. The legal cup is slightly larger than the US customary cup and ensures consistency in nutrition facts labeling.
  3. Metric cup: The metric cup is a unit of volume measurement used in countries that follow the metric system. It is not an official SI unit but is commonly used in cooking and recipes in some countries. The metric cup is defined as 250 milliliters.

It’s important to know what system you’re using when making a recipe. Although the difference between the US customary and metric cup-to-tablespoon measurement isn’t huge, it can make a difference when scaling a recipe. Here is a breakdown:

1 US Cup = 16 US tablespoons (tbsp)
1 US Cup = 15.77 metric tablespoons

Wet vs. Dry Tablespoons and Cups

When it comes to the art of measuring ingredients, there’s no distinction between “wet” and “dry” tablespoons and cups as a unit of measurement. A tablespoon is a tablespoon, and a cup is a cup, whether you’re measuring liquids or dry ingredients.

Just be sure to follow the suggested wet and dry measurement tips (as shown below) for accuracy!

How Many Tablespoons are in a cup?

In one standard cup, there are 16 tablespoons. This unit conversion can also be expressed as 16 tablespoons = 1 cup, 16 T = 1 c, or 1 c = 16 Tbsp. However you write it, there are always 16 tablespoons in 1 customary cup.

And remember, it doesn’t matter what the ingredient is – there are always 16 tablespoons in 1 standard cup!

This conversion comes in handy when you’re measuring ingredients in the kitchen and need to switch between these two units. Happy cooking!

Here are the most common tablespoon-to-cup conversions for recipes and baking:

  • 1 tablespoon (tbsp) = 1/16 cup (c)
  • 2 tablespoons (tbsp) = 1/8 cup (c)
  • 4 tablespoons (tbsp) = 1/4 cup (c)
  • 5 tablespoons (tbsp) + 1 teaspoon (tsp) = 1/3 cup (c)
  • 6 tablespoons (tbsp) = 3/8 cup (c)
  • 8 tablespoons (tbsp) = 1/2 cup (c)
  • 10 tablespoons (tbsp) + 2 teaspoons (tsp) = 2/3 cup (c)
  • 12 tablespoons (tbsp) = 3/4 cup (c)
  • 16 tablespoons (tbsp) = 1 cup (c)

Here’s a straightforward table to help you convert tablespoons (Tbsp) to cups (c):

Mathematical Formula

The conversion formula for tablespoons in a cup is straightforward:

1 cup = 16 tablespoons

(➗) How To Convert Tablespoons to Cups (Tbsp to C)

To convert tablespoons to cups, divide the number of tablespoons by 16.

For example, if a recipe calls for 1 cup of flour, you can use the conversion factor to determine that you need 16 tablespoons of flour.

Here is the formula for converting tablespoons to cups:

Cups = Tablespoons ➗ 16

(✖️) How To Convert Cups To Tablespoons (C to Tbsp)

To convert cups to tablespoons, multiply the number of cups by 16.

For example, if you have 2 cups, you would multiply 2 c x 16 tbsp to get 32 tablespoons.

Here is the formula for converting cups to tablespoons:

Tablespoons = Cups ✖️ 16

Converting Other Measurement Units

Here are some of the most commonly used measurements with simple conversions:

  • Teaspoons to tablespoons: 1 tablespoon = 3 teaspoons.
  • Tablespoons to fluid ounces: 1 fluid ounce = 2 tablespoons.
  • Cups to pints, quarts, and gallons: 2 cups = 1 pint, 4 cups = 1 quart, and 16 cups = 1 gallon.
  • Fluid ounces to cups: 8 fluid ounces = 1 cup

For converting between the US customary system and metric system, common conversions such as 1 cup = 240 ml can be helpful. Online converters offer quick and easy conversions when needed.

Understanding Basic Measurement Units

Familiarizing yourself with common units of measurement is the foundation for successful cooking and baking!

  • Teaspoons (tsp) are the smallest unit for measuring volume and are commonly used for spices, extracts, and leavening agents.
  • Tablespoons (tbsp) are three times larger than a teaspoon and are ideal for measuring butter, oil, and sugar.
  • Cups (c) serve as larger volume measurements for ingredients like flour, milk, and vegetables.
  • Fluid ounces (fl oz) are used for measuring liquid volumes like water, juice, and syrup.
  • Milliliters (ml) and liters (L) are metric system units for measuring volume commonly used outside the US. Recognizing the differences between the US customary and metric systems is crucial when working with international recipes.
  • Volume measurements refer to the space an ingredient occupies, while weight measurements refer to its mass. Some recipes use weight measurements (e.g., grams or ounces) for better accuracy.

Tips for Accurate Measuring

Here are some practical tips for accurate measuring in the kitchen and beyond!

Selecting the Right Measuring Tools

Here is a breakdown of handy tools to have in your kitchen:

  • Measuring spoons: Use measuring tablespoons and teaspoons for small amounts, such as spices, leavening agents, and small amounts of liquids.
  • Measuring cups: For larger dry ingredients such as flour, sugar, and oats measuring cups come in different sizes and are easy to use.
  • Liquid measuring cups: When measuring liquid ingredients such as water, milk, or juice, liquid measuring cups are perfect since they have a spout and handle for easy pouring and minimal spillage.
  • Digital kitchen scale: A digital scale is precise and easy to use when measuring ingredients by weight.

Measuring Dry Ingredients

For accurate measurement, especially with flour, simply scoop the dry ingredient into the measuring spoon and level it off with a straight-edged utensil, such as a knife or spatula. This ensures a consistent amount of the dry ingredient every time.

Common Measurement Mistakes and How to Avoid Them

Using the wrong measurement tools can lead to mistakes. Investing in a quality set of measuring spoons, cups, and a digital scale is a good idea.

Over-packing or under-packing dry ingredients can lead to inconsistent results. To avoid this, spoon ingredients into measuring cups and level off the top.

Not leveling off ingredients can result in imprecise measurements, so always use a straight-edged utensil to level off ingredients.

Measuring liquids at eye level ensures accuracy. Fill the measuring cup to the intended measurement line, and place it on a flat surface to ensure it isn’t under or overfilled.

Choosing the Right Kitchen Scale

Precision is paramount in baking, and measuring ingredients by weight (grams) will make you a better baker. If you enjoy baking, investing in a digital scale is a game-changer. You’ll reap the benefits of consistent results, easier cleanup, and a more streamlined process. Look for a model that easily toggles between ounces and grams, preferably offering decimals or both decimals and fractions, in increments as small as 1 gram.

Make sure the scale includes a tare function, which allows you to reset the scale to zero after placing a bowl or container, making it convenient for weighing multiple ingredients in the same container. My personal recommendation is the My Weigh KD Multi-Purpose Digital Kitchen & Hobby Scale, with an impressive gram capacity and 1 gram resolution. For a more budget-friendly option, consider Etekcity’s kitchen scale, currently priced at just $13.99 and ranked as the #1 best seller in kitchen scales on Amazon.

For greater precision when weighing spices, baking soda, etc., I use Weigh Grams’s Pocket Scale, which allows you to weigh a maximum capacity of 100 grams with 0.01 gram resolution (in order to keep it calibrated and accurate, I also recommend buying this calibration weight). For other baking equipment that I’ve tested over the years and recommend, take a look at my Essential Baking Tools & Equipment page.

If you still like to proceed with using measuring cups and spoons or if you are cooking or baking from a cookbook that doesn’t include weights of ingredients, feel free to use the baking conversion charts below, but be aware of the fact that I’ve measured every ingredient below myself.

Measuring Methods for Different Ingredients

Weights can vary considerably depending on the method used to measure them. For flour, I provided weight equivalents using the scoop-and-sweep method (use a spoon to fluff up the flour in the bin, dip the measuring cup into the flour and scoop it up, then sweep across the top of the cup with the back of a knife to level it), but the author of the book you are baking from may have used the spoon-and-sweep method, which will give you a different amount. Always check the book to see if this has been clearly mentioned.

For other ingredients where the measuring method affects the weight—such as cocoa powder, confectioners’ sugar, cornstarch, nut flours, matcha, baking powder, and spices—I have provided weight equivalents using the spoon-and-sweep method, where the ingredient is spooned into a measuring cup or spoon, then swept across the top with the back of a knife to level it.

Where a volume measurement isn’t useful (e.g., for chocolate or some of the fresh produce), weight measurements are provided in both ounces and grams. In converting Imperial to metric weights, I have rounded to the nearest 5 grams above 1 ounce and to the nearest 50 grams above 1 kilogram.

When converting butter volume to weight, ounces are rounded to the nearest 0.1 ounce and grams to the nearest 5 grams.

SOURDOUGH TO YEAST CONVERSION CHART

Assuming you are using a 100% hydration (meaning you maintain your starter with equal weights of flour and water) sourdough starter, here’s how you can convert a sourdough recipe to a recipe that uses commercial yeast.

Divide the amount of sourdough starter used in the recipe by half and add those amounts to the weight of the flour and water in the recipe. If you still prefer to have a long and slow rise, use 1/4 teaspoon of instant yeast in the recipe. If you prefer a short and fast rise, use somewhere between 1+1/2 teaspoons to 2+1/4 teaspoons of instant yeast for recipes that call for 300-500 grams of flour.

Let’s say your sourdough recipe uses 200 grams of sourdough, 300 grams of flour and 250 grams of water. You’ll now use 400 grams (300 + (200/2)) of flour, 350 grams (250 + (200/2)) of water and 2 teaspoons of instant yeast.

YEAST TO SOURDOUGH CONVERSION

Assuming you are going to use a 100% hydration (meaning you maintain your starter with equal weights of flour and water) sourdough starter, here’s how you can convert a yeasted recipe to a sourdough recipe.

First, you need to decide how much sourdough starter to use in the recipe. Typically, you’ll need 1/5th of the weight of the flour.

Let’s say the recipe uses 500 grams of flour, 400 grams of water and 2+1/4 teaspoons of yeast.

You’ll need 100 (500/5) grams of sourdough starter. Next, divide the amount of sourdough starter you are going to use in the recipe by half and subtract those amounts from the weight of the flour and water in the recipe. This means, you’ll use 450 grams (500 – (100/2)) of flour and 350 grams (400 – (100/2)) of water in addition to the sourdough starter. Also, omit the yeast called for in the recipe. Please note that using sourdough starter in place of commercial yeast will considerably lengthen the time for the dough to rise.
