About tablespoons and milliliters

A US tablespoon is half a US fluid ounce, 14.7868 ml. Multiply tablespoons by 14.7868 to get milliliters, or use 15 ml for cooking, which is about 1.4% high.

Oil, butter, sauces and syrups are measured in tablespoons in US recipes. Most metric countries use a 15 ml tablespoon, but Australia uses a 20 ml tablespoon, so an Australian tablespoon holds about a third more than a US one.
