Formula and Step-by-Step

(ounces × 28.35g/oz) ÷ 253g/cup × 16 = tablespoons
  1. Start with 160.03 ounces of egg yolks
  2. Convert ounces to grams: 160.03 × 28.35 = 4,536.77g
  3. 1 cup of egg yolks = 253g
  4. 4,536.77g ÷ 253g/cup = 17.93 cups × 16 = 286.91 tablespoons

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

Measuring Tip

Carton egg whites and yolks have very consistent density, making them easier to measure by volume than freshly separated eggs. If your recipe calls for a specific gram amount, carton products are the most predictable.

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 is roughly the volume of a large soup spoon. In precise terms, 1 US tablespoon equals 14.787 ml, which is very close to the 15 ml metric standard used in most of the world. Three teaspoons make one tablespoon.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 286.91 tbsp, based on egg yolks having a density of 253g 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 253 (grams per cup), then multiply by 16 to get tablespoons. For 160.03 ounces: 160.03 × 28.3495 = 4,536.77g, then 4,536.77 ÷ 253 = 17.93 cups × 16 = 286.91 tbsp.
The most accurate way is to weigh egg yolks on a kitchen scale, since individual eggs vary in size. If measuring by volume, pour into the measuring spoon and read the level at eye height.
Weight-per-cup values vary because of differences in how the ingredient is measured (spooned vs scooped), grind size, moisture content, and settling during storage. Our values use standardized measurement methods from established culinary references.
Reverse the conversion: 286.91 tbsp ÷ 16 = 17.9319 cups, then 17.9319 × 253g/cup = 4,536.77g, then 4,536.77g ÷ 28.3495 = 160.03 ounces. Or use the Tablespoons to Ounces converter.
