11.29 ounces of parmesan (finely grated) equals 4.00 cups. That's 320.07g, and Parmesan (finely grated) has a density of 80g per cup. Because ounces measure weight and cups measure volume, the result depends on the ingredient's density.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 11.29 ounces of parmesan (finely grated)
- Convert ounces to grams: 11.29 × 28.35 = 320.07g
- 1 cup of parmesan (finely grated) = 80g
- 320.07g ÷ 80g/cup = 4.00 cups
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Shredded, cubed, and grated cheese all have different weights per cup. Finely grated cheese packs more densely than loosely shredded.

Understanding the Units
What is an Ounce?
An ounce (oz) is a US customary unit of weight equal to 28.3495 grams or 1/16 of a pound. In cooking, "ounces" refers to weight (avoirdupois ounces), not fluid ounces which measure volume.
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.
