How Much Is 1.57 Cups of Cornmeal in Ounces?
1.57 cups of cornmeal equals 8.31 oz. Cornmeal has a density of 150g per cup (150g per cup), which means it's moderate weight compared to other common cooking ingredients. For comparison, 1.57 cups of honey would be 18.83 oz.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 1.57 cups of cornmeal
- 1 cup of cornmeal = 150g
- 1.57 × 150 = 235.5g
- Convert grams to ounces: 235.5 ÷ 28.3495 = 8.31 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Cornmeal weigh 150g per cup when dry. Cooked weight per cup will be different.

Understanding the Units
What is a Cup?
In US cooking, a cup measures volume, not weight. One standard US cup holds 236.588 ml of liquid. Because different ingredients have different densities, a cup of one ingredient can weigh very differently from a cup of another.
What is an Ounce?
Weight ounces and fluid ounces are different measurements. A fluid ounce measures volume (29.574 ml), while an ounce measures weight (28.35g). They only align for water, where 1 fl oz weighs approximately 1 oz.
