Tablespoon (US) to Metric cup (250 mL)

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.

Metric Cup (250 mL)

The metric cup equals 250 milliliters and is part of the metric cooking system used worldwide, especially in Australia, Canada, and New Zealand. Unlike the US cup, it is decimal-based, making recipe scaling and international culinary communication straightforward. Metric cups are widely used in nutrition labeling, recipe books, and professional kitchens.
