2.12 ounces of cornmeal equals 6.41 tbsp. That's 60.10g, and Cornmeal has a density of 150g per cup. Because ounces measure weight and tablespoons measure volume, the result depends on the ingredient's density.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 2.12 ounces of cornmeal
- Convert ounces to grams: 2.12 × 28.35 = 60.10g
- 1 cup of cornmeal = 150g
- 60.10g ÷ 150g/cup = 0.40 cups × 16 = 6.41 tablespoons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Pour grains into the measuring spoon and level off. Do not shake or tap, as this settles the grains and increases the weight.
