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?

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 32.91 g, based on tomato paste having a density of 262g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Multiply the number of tablespoons by 16.38 (grams per tablespoon for tomato paste). For 2.01 tablespoons: 2.01 × 16.38 = 32.91 g.
For the most accurate results, weigh tomato paste 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.
Weight-per-cup values vary because of differences in how the ingredient is measured (spooned vs scooped), grind size, moisture content, and settling during storage. Our values use standardized measurement methods from established culinary references.
