Measuring Tip
One large egg white weighs approximately 30g and one large egg yolk weighs approximately 17g. Weighing separated eggs is more reliable than counting, since individual eggs vary in size.
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 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.

If you have a kitchen scale, weighing egg yolks gives you an exact starting point for this conversion. If you need to measure by volume instead, pour into the measuring spoon on a flat surface and read the level at eye height.
Egg sizes vary naturally, so the ounces to tablespoons result can differ by 5-10% between individual eggs. This conversion uses large eggs as the standard. For carton egg yolks, the density is very consistent.
The same weight of different ingredients fills different volumes because each ingredient has a different density. An ounce of egg yolks 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.
