About Milliliters and Tablespoons
Milliliters (mL): One thousandth of a liter, where the liter is defined as one cubic decimeter; not strictly an SI unit (the SI volume unit is the cubic meter) but universal in cooking, medicine, and chemistry. Common uses: Liquid medication dosing, lab work, cooking (especially in metric countries), bartending, and any small-volume liquid measurement.
Tablespoons (tbsp): Three teaspoons, or about 15 mL; the US legal tablespoon is exactly 14.7868 mL, although international cooking convention is 15 mL. Common uses: Mid-range cooking measurements (oil, vinegar, honey, peanut butter), baking (small quantities of cocoa powder, cornstarch, baking soda).
