Measuring Tip
Cornstarch is a fine powder that compacts easily. Spoon it into the measuring spoon and level off rather than dipping, which packs in more than intended.
Understanding the Units
What is an Ounce?
Ounces are commonly used in US recipes for cheese, meat, chocolate, and other ingredients sold by weight. Many kitchen scales offer both gram and ounce readings.
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.

The same weight of different ingredients fills different volumes because each ingredient has a different density. An ounce of cornstarch 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.
