Formula and Step-by-Step

(ounces × 28.35g/oz) ÷ 245g/cup × 16 = tablespoons
  1. Start with 43.21 ounces of buttermilk
  2. Convert ounces to grams: 43.21 × 28.35 = 1,224.98g
  3. 1 cup of buttermilk = 245g
  4. 1,224.98g ÷ 245g/cup = 5 cups × 16 = 80.00 tablespoons

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

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?

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 80.00 tbsp, based on buttermilk having a density of 245g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
First convert ounces to grams (1 ounce = 28.3495g), then divide by 245 (grams per cup), then multiply by 16 to get tablespoons. For 43.21 ounces: 43.21 × 28.3495 = 1,224.98g, then 1,224.98 ÷ 245 = 5 cups × 16 = 80.00 tbsp.
For the most accurate results, weigh buttermilk on a kitchen scale. If measuring by volume, use a liquid measuring spoon 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.
Reverse the conversion: 80.00 tbsp ÷ 16 = 4.99993 cups, then 4.99993 × 245g/cup = 1,224.98g, then 1,224.98g ÷ 28.3495 = 43.21 ounces. Or use the Tablespoons to Ounces converter.
