Formula and Step-by-Step

cups × 253g/cup ÷ 28.3495g/oz = ounces
  1. Start with 2.69 cups of egg yolks
  2. 1 cup of egg yolks = 253g
  3. 2.69 × 253 = 680.57g
  4. Convert grams to ounces: 680.57 ÷ 28.3495 = 24.01 oz

The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 24.01 oz, based on egg yolks having a density of 253g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Multiply the number of cups by 253 (grams per cup for egg yolks), then divide by 28.3495 to convert grams to ounces. For 2.69 cups: 2.69 × 253 = 680.57g, then 680.57 ÷ 28.3495 = 24.01 oz.
The most accurate way is to weigh egg yolks on a kitchen scale, since individual eggs vary in size. If measuring by volume, pour into the measuring cup and read the level at eye height.
Weight-per-cup values vary because of differences in how the ingredient is measured (spooned vs scooped), grind size, moisture content, and settling during storage. Our values use standardized measurement methods from established culinary references.
