A US tablespoon is smaller at 14.79 ml, so US cooks measuring with US spoons need slightly more. An Australian tablespoon is larger at 20 ml, so it holds about a third more.

  • One metric tablespoon of condensed milk weighs about 19.2 grams. A US tablespoon (14.79 ml) holds about 18.9 grams and an Australian tablespoon (20 ml) about 25.6 grams.

Condensed milk here means sweetened condensed milk, the thick, sticky tinned milk that has had most of its water removed and sugar added. One metric cup (250 ml) of sweetened condensed milk weighs around 320 grams or 11.29 ounces. It is the base of fudge, caramel sauces, no-bake cheesecakes, key lime pie, and Vietnamese iced coffee.

Tins of condensed milk are usually 397 g (14 oz), which is a little under 1 1/4 cups, so a recipe may need only part of a tin. Weighing what you actually pour gives accurate results across baking and confectionery.

Milk is fresh and pourable, while condensed milk is reduced and heavily sweetened, so the two are not a 1:1 swap. For a quick stand-in for condensed milk, simmer milk with sugar (about 1 cup milk plus 3/4 cup sugar) until it thickens and turns pale gold. See what 1 tablespoon of milk is in millilitres.

Powdered milk is dehydrated milk solids with nothing added, while condensed milk is a thick sweet liquid. Powdered milk reconstitutes into regular milk, whereas condensed milk goes straight into desserts; the two are not interchangeable. See our Powdered Milk converter.

Evaporated and condensed milk both start as reduced milk, but condensed milk has heavy added sugar while evaporated is unsweetened. The two are not interchangeable: swapping in evaporated milk needs added sugar, and dropping condensed milk into a savoury sauce adds sweetness the recipe may not want. See what 1 tablespoon of evaporated milk is in millilitres.
