Full Description
Recipes often call for tablespoons, while nutrition tracking and procurement rely on grams. This converter accounts for ingredient density so you can move between volumetric and mass measurements without guesswork.
Preloaded densities cover water, oils, milk, and more. Use the custom option for specialty ingredients.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is density required?
Mass depends on both volume and density. Without density, the gram value cannot be determined.
Can I convert grams back to tbsp?
Divide grams by density to get cc, then divide by 14.7867647813 to get tablespoons.
Does temperature matter?
Density changes with temperature; use a value appropriate to your ingredient’s temperature.
Is this for U.S. tablespoons?
Yes, U.S. liquid tablespoons (14.7868 mL).
