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?
Weighing ingredients in grams eliminates the variability of volume measurements. A cup of flour can weigh anywhere from 120g to 160g depending on how it was scooped, but 120g of flour is always 120g of flour.
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.
Frequently Asked Questions
1 gram of molasses is 0.05 tbsp. This conversion uses the ingredient's density and scales proportionally - pick an amount or try the calculator.
If you have a kitchen scale, weighing molasses gives you an exact starting point for this conversion. If you need to measure by volume instead, lightly oil the measuring spoon first so molasses slides out cleanly, then read the level on a flat surface.
Approximately. Sauces, syrups, and processed liquids can vary somewhat by brand and recipe. The grams to tablespoons result for molasses should be treated as a close estimate rather than an exact value.
The same weight of different ingredients fills different volumes because each ingredient has a different density. A gram of molasses fills a different number of tablespoons than a gram of a lighter or heavier ingredient. That is why this converter needs to know which ingredient you are measuring.
