What is a tablespoon?
A tablespoon is a type of cutlery used to... wait. Sorry, let's try again.
A tablespoon is a measurement unit for volume used most often in cooking. You will see tablespoons all over the places in recipes in English, in place of the more "scientific" metric units. Tablespoons are abbreviated with tbsp (don't mistake them for the teaspoons' smaller counterparts).
Why tablespoons?
Tablespoons, cups, and sticks. If you're used to reading recipes with metric units, like grams and liters, finding them may throw you off.
To be honest, it's a great unit of measurement. Everyone has tablespoons at home (the same thing is true for cups, teaspoons, and all the others). Like for many other "non-metric" units, this quantity is perfectly balanced: when milliliters are too little and liters too much, the tablespoon helps you always call for a reasonable number!
What is a milliliter?
The milliliter is a multiple of the liter, the S.I. measurement unit for the volume. 11 liter equals 10001000 milliliters. The symbol of the milliliter is ml\text{ml}.
The milliliter is a relatively small unit: you need only 2020 drops of water to make one. This is why it's not the best unit for cooking measurements; in fact, you will almost always need 20 ml20\ \text{ml}, 50 ml50\ \text{ml}, or some other bigger multiple in your recipes.
What is the conversion between tablespoons and milliliters?
A tablespoon equals 1515 milliliters. Let's get this right:
1 tbsp=15 ml1\ \text{tbsp}=15\ \text{ml}
