How Much Is 8.66 Cups of Tomato Paste in Ounces?
8.66 cups of tomato paste equals 80.03 oz. Tomato paste has a density of 262g per cup (262g per cup), which means it's relatively heavy compared to other common cooking ingredients. For comparison, 8.66 cups of all-purpose flour would be 38.23 oz.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 8.66 cups of tomato paste
- 1 cup of tomato paste = 262g
- 8.66 × 262 = 2,268.92g
- Convert grams to ounces: 2,268.92 ÷ 28.3495 = 80.03 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Tomato paste is commonly used as a fat or egg substitute in baking. When substituting, convert by weight for accuracy.

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.
