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?
Ounces are commonly used in US recipes for cheese, meat, chocolate, and other ingredients sold by weight. Many kitchen scales offer both gram and ounce readings.
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.

If you have a kitchen scale, weighing milk gives you an exact starting point for this conversion. If you need to measure by volume instead, use a liquid measuring spoon on a flat surface and read the level at eye height.
Very close. Pure liquid densities are consistent across brands, so the ounces to tablespoons conversion for milk typically varies by less than 2-3%.
The same weight of different ingredients fills different volumes because each ingredient has a different density. An ounce of milk fills a different number of tablespoons than an ounce of a lighter or heavier ingredient. That is why this converter needs to know which ingredient you are measuring.
