Tablespoons (tbsp) to Centiliters (cL) Conversion
Tablespoons
The tablespoon is a unit of volume used in culinary measurement, equal to exactly 14.7868 mL in the US customary system (half a US fluid ounce, or three teaspoons). The metric tablespoon is defined as exactly 15 mL. The tablespoon is critically important for spices, oils, and condiments in recipes where gram-level precision is impractical for home cooks.
Centiliters
The centilitre is a unit of volume equal to one hundredth of a litre (10 mL), used primarily in Europe for expressing beverage servings and wine bottle volumes. A standard wine glass serving in European restaurants is typically 12.5 cL, and spirits are commonly served in 2.5 or 5 cL measures. The centilitre is rarely used in scientific contexts, where millilitres and litres are preferred.
