teaspoons = tablespoons × 3

cups = tablespoons ÷ 16

Note: Temperature affects liquids like honey or maple syrup; warm them slightly for easier measuring.

Full Description

Spoons are among the most accessible kitchen tools. This converter lets you convert grams to tablespoons quickly for sauces, dressings, and baking. It's particularly helpful when a scale isn't handy or when scaling recipes in small batches.

Ingredient densities come from culinary references and reflect typical home cooking conditions. Because each ingredient behaves differently, choosing the correct item ensures the conversion is as accurate as possible.

Perfect for

  • Converting international recipes into familiar spoon measures.
  • Quick sauce and dressing adjustments without pulling out a scale.
  • Meal prep after weighing bulk ingredients.
  • Understanding nutrition labels that list grams per serving.

Stir sticky ingredients like honey before measuring to eliminate air pockets. For powders, use the spoon-and-level method for consistency.
