Formula and Step-by-Step

(ounces × 28.35g/oz) ÷ 205g/cup × 16 = tablespoons
  1. Start with 10.85 ounces of lard
  2. Convert ounces to grams: 10.85 × 28.35 = 307.59g
  3. 1 cup of lard = 205g
  4. 307.59g ÷ 205g/cup = 1.50 cups × 16 = 24.01 tablespoons

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.

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?

A tablespoon (tbsp) is a US customary unit of volume equal to 14.787 milliliters, 3 teaspoons, or 1/16 of a cup. It is commonly used for measuring smaller amounts of ingredients.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 24.01 tbsp, based on lard having a density of 205g 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 205 (grams per cup), then multiply by 16 to get tablespoons. For 10.85 ounces: 10.85 × 28.3495 = 307.59g, then 307.59 ÷ 205 = 1.50 cups × 16 = 24.01 tbsp.
For the most accurate results, weigh lard 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.
Fat content has a small effect on density. Higher-fat versions are slightly lighter per volume because fat is less dense than water. The difference is usually under 5%, so this conversion works well for standard varieties.
Reverse the conversion: 24.01 tbsp ÷ 16 = 1.50045 cups, then 1.50045 × 205g/cup = 307.59g, then 307.59g ÷ 28.3495 = 10.85 ounces. Or use the Tablespoons to Ounces converter.
