To convert millilitres to tablespoons, divide by 15 (since 1 tablespoon = 15 ml). For common cooking volumes: 15 ml = 1 tbsp, 30 ml = 2 tbsp, 45 ml = 3 tbsp, 60 ml = 4 tbsp, 75 ml = 5 tbsp.
When a European recipe specifies small liquid quantities in millilitres and your measuring tools use tablespoons, this converter is the fastest path. Values that don't divide evenly into tablespoons — like 20 ml or 25 ml — are best measured in teaspoons (4 tsp or 5 tsp respectively) or with a measuring syringe.
For baking leaveners (baking powder, baking soda) the convention in US recipes is teaspoons and tablespoons; European recipes sometimes use grams. The weight of 1 tablespoon of baking powder is about 12 g; 1 tablespoon of salt is about 18 g (table salt) or about 8 g (kosher salt).
15 ml equals exactly 1 tablespoon.
30 ml equals 2 tablespoons.
100 ml equals 6.67 tablespoons, or about 6 tablespoons and 2 teaspoons.
