Cups to Tablespoons Converter — Liquid Soy Sauce Marinades & Citrus Deglazing

Converting measuring cups (c) to tablespoons (tbsp) allows home cooks to measure small liquid recipe volumes using measuring spoons without dirtying multi-cup liquid measuring beakers. When preparing 1/4 cup of tamari soy sauce (4 tablespoons), 1/3 cup of red wine vinegar (5.33 tablespoons), or 1/8 cup of fresh lime juice (2 tablespoons), multiplying cups by 16 gives exact tablespoon counts.
