Formula and Step-by-Step

grams ÷ 246g/cup × 16 = tablespoons
  1. Start with 199.26 grams of ricotta
  2. 1 cup of ricotta = 246g
  3. 199.26g ÷ 246g/cup = 0.81 cups × 16 = 12.96 tablespoons

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

Measuring Tip

Ricotta should be at room temperature for accurate volume measurement. Cold ricotta holds air pockets that change the weight.

Understanding the Units

What is a Gram?

Weighing ingredients in grams eliminates the variability of volume measurements. A cup of flour can weigh anywhere from 120g to 160g depending on how it was scooped, but 120g of flour is always 120g of flour.

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 12.96 tbsp, based on ricotta having a density of 246g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Divide the grams by 246 (grams per cup) to get cups, then multiply by 16 to get tablespoons. For 199.26 grams: 199.26 ÷ 246 = 0.81 cups × 16 = 12.96 tbsp.
For the most accurate results, weigh ricotta on a kitchen scale. If measuring by volume, spoon the ingredient into the measuring spoon and level it off with a straight edge rather than scooping directly.
Fat content has a small effect on density. Higher-fat versions are slightly lighter per volume because fat is less dense than water. The difference is usually under 5%, so this conversion works well for standard varieties.
Reverse the conversion: 12.96 tbsp ÷ 16 = 0.81 cups, then 0.81 × 246g/cup = 199.26g. Or use the Tablespoons to Grams converter.
