What is a metric tablespoon used for?

It is a culinary volume unit standardized in many countries as 15 milliliters, used for measuring small quantities of liquid or dry ingredients.

What does a cubic millimeter measure?

A cubic millimeter measures volume equivalent to a cube with edges of one millimeter, often used for very small volumes in scientific contexts.

Why do tablespoon sizes vary by country?

Different countries have local conventions, such as Australia using 20 milliliters, which can cause variations in tablespoon volume.
