تحويل الملعقة الكبيرة إلى سنتيمتر مكعب: الطهي والخبز والأدوية

One US tablespoon equals 14.787 cubic centimeters (also expressed as 14.787 mL). This is the standard conversion used in American cooking and pharmaceutical dosing. Note that metric tablespoons equal 15 cm³ and Australian tablespoons equal 20 cm³, so always verify which tablespoon standard applies to your recipe or medication before converting.

Historical adoption of measurement systems created different standards. The US defined its tablespoon as 0.5 fluid ounce (14.787 cm³) based on imperial units. Metric countries standardized on 15 cm³ when adopting the metric system. Australia adopted 20 cm³ for practical cooking purposes. This fragmentation means recipes and medications must specify which tablespoon standard is used to ensure accuracy.

No, they are slightly different: 14.787 cm³ (US tablespoon) versus 15 mL (metric tablespoon). One cubic centimeter equals one milliliter, so 14.787 cm³ = 14.787 mL. The difference is small (0.213 mL) but matters in precise applications like pharmaceutical dosing or professional baking where consistency is critical. Always use the appropriate standard for your region and application.
