Tablespoon / the buying desk
Does the recipe mean a measured tablespoon?
Table cutlery is not automatically a measuring tool. Use the volume convention stated by the recipe or measuring spoon.

Tablespoon buying notes
Read the tablespoon guide →Tablespoon volume calculator
Choose the volume convention in your recipe or on your measuring spoon. The calculator multiplies those two values; it does not estimate grams.
Measuring or serving
Keep measuring spoons separate from serving cutlery. Read the stated volume if the spoon is being bought for recipes.
Stated volume
Enter the millilitres per tablespoon in the calculator. It converts volume only. Converting to grams needs an ingredient-specific density or another suitable conversion, so no weight is guessed here.
Material
Keep the stated measuring volume separate from the material and finish of table cutlery.
