Formula and Step-by-Step

grams ÷ 246g/cup × 16 = tablespoons
  1. Start with 61.5 grams of ricotta
  2. 1 cup of ricotta = 246g
  3. 61.5g ÷ 246g/cup = 0.25 cups × 16 = 4.00 tablespoons

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

Measuring Tip

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

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?

Tablespoon sizes differ by country. A US tablespoon is 14.787 ml, close to the 15 ml metric standard used in most countries. An Australian tablespoon is 20 ml, about 35% larger than US. An imperial tablespoon is 17.758 ml. If your recipe comes from Australia, the larger tablespoon size can make a real difference.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 4.00 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 61.5 grams: 61.5 ÷ 246 = 0.25 cups × 16 = 4.00 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: 4.00 tbsp ÷ 16 = 0.25 cups, then 0.25 × 246g/cup = 61.5g. Or use the Tablespoons to Grams converter.
