What is a Tablespoon?

An imperial tablespoon is 17.758 ml. If your recipe comes from Australia, the larger tablespoon size can make a real difference.

Frequently Asked Questions
For cheddar cheese (shredded), 1 tablespoon equals 0.25 oz. For other amounts, select an amount below or use the calculator for a custom quantity.
The most accurate way is to weigh cheddar cheese (shredded) on a kitchen scale. If you are measuring by volume, spoon the ingredient into the measuring spoon and level it off with a straight edge rather than scooping directly from the container, which packs more in and gives a heavier result.
The form of the cheese matters more than the brand. Finely grated, shredded, shaved, and cubed cheese all have very different weights per measuring spoon. This conversion uses cheddar cheese (shredded), so make sure your cheese matches that form before converting.
Weighing is more consistent than volume measuring. A tablespoon of cheddar cheese (shredded) can vary by 10-20% depending on how it's scooped, packed, or leveled. Weighing gives the same result every time, which is especially important in baking where precision affects texture and rise.
