Understanding the Units

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.

What is a Gram?

A gram (g) is a metric unit of mass equal to 1/1000 of a kilogram. It is the standard weight measurement for precise baking worldwide. Professional bakers prefer grams because they are more accurate than volume measurements.

How do I measure honey accurately? expand_more

Weighing honey on a kitchen scale is strongly recommended. Honey is thick and sticky, so it clings to measuring cups and spoons, making volume measurements less reliable than for thinner liquids. If you must measure by volume, lightly oil the cup first so the honey slides out cleanly.

Does this tablespoons to grams conversion work for all brands of honey? expand_more

Approximately. Sauces, syrups, and processed liquids can vary somewhat by brand and recipe. The tablespoons to grams result for honey should be treated as a close estimate rather than an exact value.

What is the advantage of weighing honey over using tablespoons? expand_more

Honey is dense and sticky, so it clings to measuring cups and does not pour cleanly. Volume measurements can easily be off by 5-10% depending on how much honey stays stuck to the container. A kitchen scale avoids this entirely and is the recommended way to measure sticky liquids.
