About Tablespoon (tbsp)
A US culinary unit of volume equal to 1/16 of a US cup, or 3 teaspoons (about 14.79 mL). Tablespoons are the standard unit for small-quantity cooking measurements: butter, oil, herbs, sauces, and dressings. Nutrition facts panels on US foods often quote "per tablespoon" serving sizes (e.g., peanut butter, maple syrup). Note that the Australian tablespoon is 20 mL (not 15 mL), which can cause measurement issues when converting international recipes.
About Liter (L)
A metric unit of volume equal to exactly 0.001 cubic meters (one cubic decimeter). Though technically not an SI unit, liters are accepted for use with SI and are the global standard for beverages, fuel consumption, car engine displacement, blood volume in medicine, and chemistry solutions. A standard wine bottle is 0.75 L, a soda can is 0.33 L, and a mid-size car's fuel tank holds 50–70 L. One liter of pure water at 4°C weighs almost exactly one kilogram — a design feature of the metric system.
