Tablespoon (US) (Tbsp)
The US tablespoon, symbolized as Tbsp, equals 3 teaspoons or approximately 14.7868 milliliters. Originally based on the dining table spoon, it became standardized in the United States for cooking and nutrition. Tablespoons are widely used in recipes, food labeling, and the pharmaceutical industry. Like teaspoons, they enable consistent measurements in both home kitchens and professional culinary settings. The simplicity of linking teaspoons to tablespoons ensures practical, error-free conversions.
Liter (L)
The liter (L) is a metric unit of volume, representing 1,000 milliliters. It originated in France as part of the metric system reforms of 1795, initially defined as the volume occupied by one kilogram of water at its densest point. Over time, the liter became a fundamental unit for measuring liquids in science, industry, and everyday life. Its decimal structure makes calculations and conversions straightforward, contributing to its widespread adoption around the world, even as some regions continue to use imperial measures in certain contexts.
