Conversions
Convert tablespoons (cucchiaio) and teaspoons (cucchiaino) to grams for Italian cooking. Covers flour, sugar, salt, olive oil, butter, dried herbs and more.
grams = spoons × volume_ml × density_g_ml // Standard volumes cucchiaio (tablespoon) = 15 ml cucchiaino (teaspoon) = 5 ml // Approximate densities (g/ml) All-purpose flour (tipo 00): 0.57 Granulated sugar: 0.85 Fine salt: 1.20 Olive oil: 0.91 Butter (softened): 0.91 Honey: 1.40 Dried herbs (e.g. oregano): 0.15 Cocoa powder: 0.52 // Example: 2 tbsp olive oil grams = 2 × 15 ml × 0.91 = 27.3 g
1 tablespoon (cucchiaio) of all-purpose flour (tipo 00) = approximately 8–10 g. Because flour compresses easily, weighing is always more accurate than spooning.
1 tablespoon of olive oil = approximately 13–14 g (about 12.5 ml). Olive oil is lighter than water — it has a density around 0.91 g/ml.
Cucchiaio (tablespoon, tbsp) = approximately 15 ml. Cucchiaino (teaspoon, tsp) = approximately 5 ml. Italian recipes often use both as informal measures for small quantities of salt, sugar, spices, and oil.
1 tablespoon of fine table salt = approximately 18 g. 1 tablespoon of coarse sea salt (sale grosso) = approximately 15 g due to the larger crystal size leaving more air gaps.
In most countries (including Italy and the US) a standard tablespoon is 15 ml. In Australia it is 20 ml. This converter uses the international 15 ml standard.
