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 Tablespoon?
A tablespoon (tbsp) is a US customary unit of volume equal to 14.787 milliliters, 3 teaspoons, or 1/16 of a cup. It is commonly used for measuring smaller amounts of ingredients.
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

The most accurate way is to weigh vanilla extract on a kitchen scale. If you are measuring by volume, use a liquid measuring spoon on a flat surface and read the level at eye height. Liquids settle naturally, so volume measurements are already quite consistent.
Approximately. Sauces, syrups, and processed liquids can vary somewhat by brand and recipe. The tablespoons to grams result for vanilla extract should be treated as a close estimate rather than an exact value.
For liquids like vanilla extract, volume measurements are already quite accurate since liquids settle to a consistent level. A kitchen scale adds precision but the difference is typically small for liquid ingredients.
