Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 2.94 cups of cornmeal
- 1 cup of cornmeal = 150g
- 2.94 × 150 = 441g
- Convert grams to ounces: 441 ÷ 28.3495 = 15.56 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Pour grains into the measuring cup and level off. Do not shake or tap, as this settles the grains and increases the weight.

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?
Ounces are commonly used in US recipes for cheese, meat, chocolate, and other ingredients sold by weight. Many kitchen scales offer both gram and ounce readings.
