Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 1.15 cups of ricotta

- 1.15 × 246 = 282.9g
- Convert grams to ounces: 282.9 ÷ 28.3495 = 9.98 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.

Spoon ricotta into the measuring cup and pack gently to fill gaps. Do not scoop directly from the container, which leaves air pockets.
