Tbsp

tbsp is an abbreviation for 'tablespoon', a unit of measurement commonly used in cooking and baking. It represents a volumetric measure equal to approximately 15 milliliters (ml) in the United States customary system and about 14.8 ml in the imperial system. Its primary purpose is to quantify ingredients in recipes to ensure consistent results. Understanding the 'tbsp' measurement allows for accurate scaling of recipes, replicating flavors, and adjusting quantities based on needs. Accurate use also avoids waste and potential cooking failures.
