Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 21 grams of evaporated milk
- 1 cup of evaporated milk = 252g
- 21g ÷ 252g/cup = 0.08 cups × 16 = 1.33 tablespoons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
For liquids, place your measuring spoon on a flat surface and read at eye level. The bottom of the meniscus (the curve at the surface) should align with the measurement line.

Understanding the Units
What is a Gram?
Grams are the preferred unit in professional kitchens and bakeries because they allow exact recipe scaling. To double a recipe, simply double the gram values. No need to worry about how tightly an ingredient is packed into a cup.
What is a Tablespoon?
Tablespoon sizes differ by country. A US tablespoon is 14.787 ml, close to the 15 ml metric standard used in most countries. An Australian tablespoon is 20 ml, about 35% larger than US. An imperial tablespoon is 17.758 ml. If your recipe comes from Australia, the larger tablespoon size can make a real difference.
