Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 8.82 ounces of evaporated milk
- Convert ounces to grams: 8.82 × 28.35 = 250.04g
- 1 cup of evaporated milk = 252g
- 250.04g ÷ 252g/cup = 0.99 cup × 16 = 15.88 tablespoons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Liquid densities vary: oils weigh less per cup than water, while syrups and honey weigh more. This is why ingredient-specific conversions matter even for liquids.
