About Pint (pt)

A US customary unit of volume equal to exactly 2 US cups, 16 US fluid ounces, or 1/8 of a US gallon (≈ 473.176 mL). Pints are the standard US retail size for beer and craft cider (pint glasses, 'a pint' at a US bar), ice cream (Ben & Jerry's flagship 16 fl oz container is one US pint), berries (the standard clamshell berry container — strawberries, blueberries, raspberries — is one dry US pint, slightly different from the liquid pint at 550.6 mL), heavy cream and half-and-half retail containers, and US homebrew batch sizing. **Important**: the UK (Imperial) pint is larger at exactly 568.261 mL — almost 20% larger than the US pint. A 'pint of beer' in a London pub is meaningfully bigger than in a New York pub. The Australian pint is the same as the UK pint at 568 mL. UK milk in returnable bottles is still sometimes sold in pints. 1 US pt = 2 cups = 16 fl oz = 0.4732 L = 0.8327 UK pt.

About Tablespoon (tbsp)

A US culinary unit of volume equal to exactly 1/16 of a US cup, or exactly 3 US teaspoons (≈ 14.7868 mL per NIST SP 811). Tablespoons are the standard US small-quantity cooking-measurement unit: butter portioning (1 stick = 8 tbsp), olive oil and cooking oil drizzles, salt and pepper to taste, fresh herbs, salad dressings, vinaigrettes, marinades, sauce reductions, and pharmaceutical dosing on US-labelled OTC liquid medications. US nutrition facts panels frequently use 'per 1 tbsp' as a serving size (peanut butter, mayonnaise, maple syrup, honey, jam). **Important**: the Australian tablespoon is 20 mL (not 15 mL) per AS 1014, set by the National Measurement Act — a 33% difference from the US tablespoon. The UK tablespoon (per BS 2050) and Canadian tablespoon are 15 mL — same as US. Recipes from Australia / NZ measuring by tablespoon should be flagged so international cooks can adjust. 1 tbsp (US) = 0.5 fl oz = 3 tsp = 14.79 mL.
