Formula and Step-by-Step

grams ÷ 218g/cup × 16 = tablespoons
  1. Start with 980.61 grams of coconut oil
  2. 1 cup of coconut oil = 218g
  3. 980.61g ÷ 218g/cup = 4.50 cups × 16 = 71.97 tablespoons

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

Measuring Tip

Oils are lighter than water, so the same volume weighs less. Pour slowly into the measuring spoon for accuracy, and wipe any drips from the outside before reading.

Understanding the Units

What is a Gram?

A gram (g) is a metric unit of mass equal to 1/1000 of a kilogram. It is the standard weight measurement for precise baking worldwide. Professional bakers prefer grams because they are more accurate than volume measurements.

What is a Tablespoon?

A tablespoon (tbsp) is a US customary unit of volume equal to 14.787 milliliters, 3 teaspoons, or 1/16 of a cup. It is commonly used for measuring smaller amounts of ingredients.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 71.97 tbsp, based on coconut oil having a density of 218g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Divide the grams by 218 (grams per cup) to get cups, then multiply by 16 to get tablespoons. For 980.61 grams: 980.61 ÷ 218 = 4.50 cups × 16 = 71.97 tbsp.
For the most accurate results, weigh coconut oil on a kitchen scale. If measuring by volume, use a liquid measuring spoon on a flat surface and read the level at eye height.
Temperature has a minimal effect on most cooking liquids. The density of coconut oil changes slightly with temperature, but the difference is usually less than 1-2% between refrigerator and room temperature. This conversion assumes room temperature.
Reverse the conversion: 71.97 tbsp ÷ 16 = 4.49821 cups, then 4.49821 × 218g/cup = 980.61g. Or use the Tablespoons to Grams converter.
