Grams to Tablespoons Converter
Cooking Measurement Converter
Convert between grams, tablespoons, and other cooking measurements for various ingredients.
Conversion Settings
Density: 1 g/mL
How it Works
Weight to volume conversions depend on ingredient density. Different ingredients have different densities, so 100g of flour takes up more space than 100g of honey.
Common Conversions for Water
Measurement Tips
- Use level measurements for accuracy
- Sift flour before measuring for best results
- Pack brown sugar firmly in measuring cup
- Liquid ingredients at room temperature
- Use a kitchen scale for precision
Quick Reference
1 tbsp = 3 tsp = 14.79 mL
1 cup = 16 tbsp = 236.59 mL
1 fl oz = 2 tbsp = 29.57 mL
1 oz = 28.35 g (weight)
1 lb = 16 oz = 453.59 g
Understanding Density
Density is the mass per unit volume of a substance. Different ingredients have different densities, which is why weight-to-volume conversions vary by ingredient.
Density Examples:
- Water: 1.0 g/mL (baseline)
- Flour: 0.59 g/mL (lighter than water)
- Honey: 1.42 g/mL (denser than water)
- Salt: 2.16 g/mL (very dense)
Cooking Measurement Systems
Metric System:
Uses grams, kilograms, milliliters, and liters. More precise and widely used globally.
Imperial System:
Uses ounces, pounds, tablespoons, teaspoons, and cups. Common in the United States.
Best Practices:
- Use a kitchen scale for weight measurements
- Use measuring cups/spoons for volume
- Follow recipe measurement system
