Cubic Centimeters to Tablespoons

Cubic Centimeter

A cubic centimeter (cm³ or cc) is a small metric unit of volume equal to the space inside a cube measuring one centimeter on each side. One cubic centimeter is the same as one milliliter (1 cm³ = 1 mL), which makes it useful for precise measurements in science, medicine, and product specifications.

You’ll see cubic centimeters used to describe engine sizes, medical dosages, small liquid containers, and laboratory measurements. When converting to other metric units — like milliliters or liters — the relationship is simple, but switching to US units such as teaspoons or fluid ounces is easier with an online converter.

Tablespoon

A tablespoon (tbsp) is a common US customary unit of volume often used in cooking and measuring small quantities of ingredients. One tablespoon equals 3 teaspoons or about 14.79 milliliters, making it a practical unit for sauces, oils, spices, and baking ingredients. Because it appears in nearly every recipe, the tablespoon is a familiar part of kitchen measurement tools.

When converting tablespoons to other units — such as cups, teaspoons, or milliliters — the numbers don’t always convert cleanly. A converter helps ensure accuracy so recipes turn out correctly, especially when working with international sources that use metric measurements.
