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?

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 49.97 g, based on ricotta having a density of 246g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Multiply the number of tablespoons by 15.38 (grams per tablespoon for ricotta). For 3.25 tablespoons: 3.25 × 15.38 = 49.97 g.
For the most accurate results, weigh ricotta 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.
Reverse the conversion: 49.97 g ÷ 15.38 = 3.25 tablespoons. Or use the Grams to Tablespoons converter.
