Measuring Tip
Liquid densities vary: oils weigh less per cup than water, while syrups and honey weigh more. This is why ingredient-specific conversions matter even for liquids.
Understanding the Units
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.
What is a Tablespoon?
One tablespoon holds about 15 milliliters. There are 16 tablespoons in a cup and 3 teaspoons in a tablespoon. In baking, tablespoon measurements are used for butter, oil, honey, and other ingredients where a full cup would be too much.

Very close. Pure liquid densities are consistent across brands, so the ounces to tablespoons conversion for buttermilk typically varies by less than 2-3%.
The same weight of different ingredients fills different volumes because each ingredient has a different density. An ounce of buttermilk fills a different number of tablespoons than an ounce of a lighter or heavier ingredient. That is why this converter needs to know which ingredient you are measuring.
