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.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 11.12 tbsp, based on kosher salt (diamond crystal) having a density of 144g 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 144 (grams per cup), then multiply by 16 to get tablespoons. For 3.53 ounces: 3.53 × 28.3495 = 100.07g, then 100.07 ÷ 144 = 0.69 cups × 16 = 11.12 tbsp.
For the most accurate results, weigh kosher salt (diamond crystal) on a kitchen scale. If measuring by volume, spoon the ingredient into the measuring spoon and level it off with a straight edge rather than scooping directly.
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: 11.12 tbsp ÷ 16 = 0.694957 cups, then 0.694957 × 144g/cup = 100.07g, then 100.07g ÷ 28.3495 = 3.53 ounces. Or use the Tablespoons to Ounces converter.
