FAQ

How many tablespoons is 100 grams?

It depends on the ingredient, because a tablespoon measures volume and grams measure weight. 100 grams is 7.05 tablespoons of butter, 8 tablespoons of granulated sugar, 12.8 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and 6.76 tablespoons of water.

How do you convert grams to tablespoons?

Divide the grams by the weight of one tablespoon of that ingredient. USDA gives a US cup of butter as 227 grams, and a cup is 16 tablespoons, so a tablespoon of butter weighs 14.2 grams and 30 grams of butter is 2.11 tablespoons.

Is this a US tablespoon or a metric one?

A level US tablespoon of 14.8 ml. The metric tablespoon used in the UK, New Zealand and Canada holds 15 ml, about the same; the Australian tablespoon holds 20 ml, 35.3 % more, so the same weight fills about a quarter fewer Australian tablespoons.

Why are baking powder and baking soda counted from a teaspoon?

USDA lists them only by the teaspoon — 4.6 grams each — so a tablespoon, which is 3 teaspoons, weighs 13.8 grams. The two weigh the same per spoon but are different leaveners and do not replace each other in a recipe.
