How the tablespoons to ml conversion works

The US tablespoon is defined as 14.7868 ml (half a US fluid ounce), so the conversion is a single multiplication: ml = tbsp × 14.7868. Going the other way, tbsp = ml ÷ 14.7868.

Worked example: 3 tbsp of olive oil is 3 × 14.7868 = 44.36 ml. A 250 ml measuring jug holds 250 ÷ 14.7868 ≈ 16.9 tbsp.

Watch out for the 20 ml Australian tablespoon — using it in place of a US tablespoon adds about 35% more of every spooned ingredient, which is enough to ruin a vinaigrette. When a recipe just says “tablespoon” and the source is American, it means the US tablespoon used here.
