How to convert milliliters to tablespoons
tablespoons = milliliters ÷ 14.7868
Example: 350 ml ÷ 14.7868 = 23.67 tbsp.
Divide the milliliters (millilitres) by 14.79 to get US tablespoons. Dividing by 15 works nearly as well in a kitchen, because a metric tablespoon is exactly 15 ml and the US spoon is only slightly smaller.
Round amounts from metric recipes turn into spoons like this:
- 20 ml is 1.353 tbsp.
- 45 ml is 3.043 tbsp.
- 75 ml is 5.072 tbsp.
Use level spoons for these figures. A heaped spoon of oil is impossible, but a rounded spoon of honey or peanut butter can hold noticeably more than its stated size.
US vs UK tablespoons
Three tablespoon sizes are still in use. The US spoon holds 14.79 ml, the metric spoon used in the UK, Canada and New Zealand holds 15 ml, and the Australian spoon holds 20 ml.
The first two are close enough to swap. The Australian one is not: it equals 1.353 US tablespoons, so 2 tbsp in an Australian recipe means 40 ml, which is 2.705 tbsp in US spoons.
| Unit | Size | Used in |
|---|---|---|
| US tablespoon | 14.79 ml | US |
| metric tablespoon | 15 ml | UK, Canada, New Zealand |
| Australian tablespoon | 20 ml | Australia |
When to switch from spoons to a cup
Counting spoonfuls gets slow past four. Four US tablespoons make 1/4 cup, which is 59.15 ml, so from about 60 ml upward a measuring cup is quicker. The milliliters to cups converter covers those amounts.
At the small end, amounts under 15 ml fit better in teaspoons. 5 ml is 1.014 tsp, and three of those make one tablespoon.
Milliliters and tablespoons: questions
How many tablespoons is 30 ml?
30 ml is 2.029 tbsp, so two level US tablespoons are close enough for any recipe. In metric spoons it is exactly two. It is also about one US fluid ounce, since two US tablespoons make exactly one fluid ounce.
Is 15 ml a tablespoon?
Yes, in metric measure: a metric tablespoon holds exactly 15 ml. The US tablespoon is a hair smaller, so 15 ml fills 1.014 of them. US nutrition labels also count a tablespoon as 15 ml under FDA labeling rules.
How many tablespoons are in 100 ml?
100 ml equals 6.763 tbsp, a little under seven tablespoons. For that much liquid, a measuring cup is quicker: 100 ml is 0.4227 cup. With spoons only, six tablespoons plus two teaspoons come to 98.58 ml, just shy of it.
How many tablespoons is 50 ml?
50 ml is 3.381 tbsp, a little more than three and a third tablespoons. Three level tablespoons plus one level teaspoon come to 49.29 ml, which is very close.
How many tablespoons is 5 ml?
5 ml is 0.3381 tbsp, about a third of a tablespoon. That is the same as one teaspoon, so reach for the smaller spoon instead of trying to fill a tablespoon a third of the way.
