Formula and Step-by-Step

(ounces × 28.35g/oz) ÷ 340g/cup × 16 = tablespoons
  1. Start with 8.81 ounces of honey
  2. Convert ounces to grams: 8.81 × 28.35 = 249.76g
  3. 1 cup of honey = 340g
  4. 249.76g ÷ 340g/cup = 0.73 cups × 16 = 11.75 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.

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?

Tablespoon sizes differ by country. A US tablespoon is 14.787 ml, close to the 15 ml metric standard used in most countries. An Australian tablespoon is 20 ml, about 35% larger than US. An imperial tablespoon is 17.758 ml. If your recipe comes from Australia, the larger tablespoon size can make a real difference.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 11.75 tbsp, based on honey having a density of 340g 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 340 (grams per cup), then multiply by 16 to get tablespoons. For 8.81 ounces: 8.81 × 28.3495 = 249.76g, then 249.76 ÷ 340 = 0.73 cups × 16 = 11.75 tbsp.
Weighing honey on a kitchen scale is strongly recommended. It is thick and sticky, so it clings to measuring vessels. If you must measure by volume, lightly oil the measuring spoon first so it slides out cleanly.
Temperature has a minimal effect on most cooking liquids. The density of honey changes slightly with temperature, but the difference is usually less than 1-2% between refrigerator and room temperature. This conversion assumes room temperature.
Reverse the conversion: 11.75 tbsp ÷ 16 = 0.734586 cups, then 0.734586 × 340g/cup = 249.76g, then 249.76g ÷ 28.3495 = 8.81 ounces. Or use the Tablespoons to Ounces converter.
