How Much Is 8.57 Ounces of Egg Yolks in Tablespoons?
8.57 ounces of egg yolks equals 15.36 tbsp. Egg yolks has a density of 253g per cup. A lighter ingredient like flour (125g/cup) would fill more volume at the same weight, which is why ingredient-specific conversions matter.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 8.57 ounces of egg yolks
- Convert ounces to grams: 8.57 × 28.35 = 242.96g
- 1 cup of egg yolks = 253g
- 242.96g ÷ 253g/cup = 0.96 cups × 16 = 15.36 tablespoons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
A whole large egg without shell weighs about 50g. When separating eggs for a recipe, weigh the whites and yolks individually for the most accurate results.
