Convert cups to tablespoons

Becher (US)

Definition
In U.S. cooking and nutrition labeling, a cup (cup US) equals 236.588 mL, oder ¹⁄₁₆ of a U.S. liquid gallon. It also corresponds to 8 flüssige Unzen, 16 Esslöffel, oder 48 Teelöffel. (Elsewhere, the “metric cup” holds 250 mL.)

Moderne Nutzung
Cups are the cornerstone of American recipes, measuring liquids and dry ingredients alike. Standardized measuring-cup sets—rather than random drinking vessels—ensure consistent results in baking and cooking.

Esslöffel (US)

Definition
A U.S. tablespoon (Tbsp US) is a volume spoon measure equal to ≈14.7868 mL (commonly rounded to 14.8 mL). In nutrition contexts on both sides of the Atlantic, it’s standardized to 15 mL.

Geschichte und Herkunft
Emerging in the 18th-century apothecary system, the tablespoon was originally 4 drams or ½ U.S. fluid ounce. That relationship persists in today’s U.S. customary measures.

Moderne Nutzung
Recipes across the U.S., U.K., and Australia call for tablespoons to portion small volumes of liquid and bulk ingredients. Accurate measuring spoons, not dining cutlery, deliver precise amounts.
