A milliliter (mL) is a unit of volume in the metric system.
It's equal to one-thousandth of a liter (0.001 L). The plural form is milliliters.
A milliliter is the same as one cubic centimeter (1 mL = 1 cm3).
This direct relationship makes converting between liquid volume and cubic measurements incredibly simple.
This is why vehicle engine sizes are often listed in both cubic centimeters (cc) and liters.
For example, a 1500 cc engine is the same as a 1.5-liter engine.
For most practical purposes, one milliliter of water at its densest has a mass of about one gram.
This simple one-to-one relationship makes the metric system very logical for science and cooking, where water is a common ingredient.
Although the official definition of the gram has been updated, this easy approximation remains widely used in many fields.
The milliliter (mL) is a key unit for measuring small amounts of liquid in many different fields.
You can find it everywhere, from kitchens to laboratories.
A teaspoon (tsp) is a unit of volume, but its exact measurement varies by system.
In both systems, it is standard that three teaspoons equal one tablespoon.
For consistency in nutritional labeling, recipes, and medicine, a teaspoon is legally defined in the United States as exactly 5 milliliters (mL).
While the precise scientific conversion is 4.92892 mL, the simpler 5 mL standard is widely adopted for its convenience.
No, they are not. It's crucial to distinguish between a measuring teaspoon and a cutlery teaspoon (the one you eat with). For accurate kitchen conversions, only a measuring spoon will do.
For accuracy in all your baking measurements, always use a proper set of measuring spoons.
The conversion from teaspoons to tablespoons is a simple and memorable 3-to-1 ratio.
There are precisely three teaspoons in 1 tablespoon.
This fundamental relationship (3 tsp = 1 tbsp) is a cornerstone of any recipe measurement, consistent across both US customary and imperial systems.
