Tablespoon / buying notes

Tablespoon: before you order

Table cutlery is not automatically a measuring tool. Use the volume convention stated by the recipe or measuring spoon.

Keep measuring spoons separate from serving cutlery. Read the stated volume if the spoon is being bought for recipes.

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.

Keep these details together

• Measuring or serving
• Stated volume
• Material
