About tablespoons
The tablespoon (tbsp) evolved from the serving spoons used at the dinner table. As a unit, it was standardized for recipes to mean exactly 3 teaspoons or 1/2 of a fluid ounce in the US (approx. 14.8 mL). In Australia, a tablespoon is defined as 20 mL. It is the largest spoon in a standard measuring set and is crucial for measuring oils, sauces, and leavening agents. tablespoons are commonly used in Recipe ingredients (oil, sugar), Medicine dosing, Serving sizes (e.g., peanut butter), and Coffee grounds.
A coffee scoop is typically 2 tablespoons.
About liters
The liter (L) is the metric system's unit for volume, defined as one cubic decimeter (10 cm x 10 cm x 10 cm). It was introduced in France in 1795 to standardize liquid measurement. Although technically a 'non-SI unit accepted for use with the SI,' it is the most common volume unit worldwide for beverages, fuel, and trade. It bridges the gap between small mL quantities and large cubic meter volumes. liters are commonly used in Soda and water bottles, Fuel tanks (outside US), Engine displacement (e.g., 2.0L engine), and Milk cartons (outside US), Scientific experiments.
A large water bottle is typically 1 liter.
