Formula and Step-by-Step

(ounces × 28.35g/oz) ÷ 205g/cup × 16 = tablespoons

Start with 0.45 ounces of lard
Convert ounces to grams: 0.45 × 28.35 = 12.76g
1 cup of lard = 205g
12.76g ÷ 205g/cup = 0.06 cups × 16 = 1.00 tablespoon

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

Measuring Tip

Lard is solid at room temperature. Spoon it into the measuring spoon and pack gently, then level off. Softened lard is easier to measure than cold.
