Formula and Step-by-Step

liters × 1,035.55g/L ÷ 28.3495g/oz = ounces
  1. Start with 0.16 liters of buttermilk
  2. 1 liter of buttermilk = 1,035.55g
  3. 0.16 × 1,035.55 = 165.69g
  4. Convert grams to ounces: 165.69 ÷ 28.3495 = 5.84 oz

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

Measuring Tip

For liquids, place your measuring cup on a flat surface and read at eye level. The bottom of the meniscus (the curve at the surface) should align with the measurement line.

Understanding the Units

What is a Liter?

One liter is about 5.7% larger than a US quart (1,000 ml vs 946 ml) and about 12% smaller than a UK quart (1,000 ml vs 1,137 ml). Always convert precisely rather than treating them as interchangeable.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 5.84 oz, based on buttermilk having a density of 245g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Multiply the number of liters by 1,035.55 (grams per liter for buttermilk), then divide by 28.3495 to convert grams to ounces. For 0.16 liters: 0.16 × 1,035.55 = 165.69g, then 165.69 ÷ 28.3495 = 5.84 oz.
For the most accurate results, weigh buttermilk on a kitchen scale. If measuring by volume, use a liquid measuring cup on a flat surface and read the level at eye height.
Temperature has a minimal effect on most cooking liquids. The density of buttermilk changes slightly with temperature, but the difference is usually less than 1-2% between refrigerator and room temperature. This conversion assumes room temperature.
