Understanding the Units

What is a Tablespoon?

One tablespoon holds about 15 milliliters. There are 16 tablespoons in a cup and 3 teaspoons in a tablespoon. In baking, tablespoon measurements are used for butter, oil, honey, and other ingredients where a full cup would be too much.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 170.10 g, based on parmesan (finely grated) having a density of 80g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Multiply the number of tablespoons by 5 (grams per tablespoon for parmesan (finely grated)). For 34.02 tablespoons: 34.02 × 5 = 170.10 g.
For the most accurate results, weigh parmesan (finely grated) on a kitchen scale. If measuring by volume, spoon the ingredient into the measuring spoon and level it off with a straight edge rather than scooping directly.
Fat content has a small effect on density. Higher-fat versions are slightly lighter per volume because fat is less dense than water. The difference is usually under 5%, so this conversion works well for standard varieties.
