How many tablespoons are now 75ml?

First of all, you need to distinguish between a level and a heaped tablespoon. "Streaked" means that the tablespoon, in contrast to a "heaped tablespoon", has no mountain and was leveled off horizontally, as if with a knife.

• A level tablespoon generally contains 15ml of liquid. A heaped tablespoon is usually about twice the volume or Weight.
• So if you need 75ml oil for your recipe, for example, you can measure the 75ml oil with five level tablespoons.
• One tablespoon is also equivalent to three teaspoons. For example, you could use 15 level teaspoons to measure your oil.
• If you need larger quantities, you can also use a cup. The conversion from cup to tablespoon is done with a factor of 8. One cup therefore contains eight tablespoons, or 110ml. For 75ml you would have to fill the cup 2/3 full.
• If you do not want to measure liquids but rather solid ingredients, you can also use the following guide values ​​for some basic ingredients as a guide. A level tablespoon of flour is approx. 12 grams, a heaped approx. 25 grams.
• A level tablespoon of sugar or salt corresponds to approx. 15 grams. For butter, one level tablespoon means 20 grams, for cornstarch 10 grams. A level tablespoon 8 grams of oatmeal or 6 grams of cocoa.
