Formula and Step-by-Step

(ounces × 28.35g/oz) ÷ 340g/cup × 16 = tablespoons
  1. Start with 59.01 ounces of molasses
  2. Convert ounces to grams: 59.01 × 28.35 = 1,672.91g
  3. 1 cup of molasses = 340g
  4. 1,672.91g ÷ 340g/cup = 4.92 cups × 16 = 78.72 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?

Weight ounces and fluid ounces are different measurements. A fluid ounce measures volume (29.574 ml), while an ounce measures weight (28.35g). They only align for water, where 1 fl oz weighs approximately 1 oz.

What is a Tablespoon?

A tablespoon is roughly the volume of a large soup spoon. In precise terms, 1 US tablespoon equals 14.787 ml, which is very close to the 15 ml metric standard used in most of the world. Three teaspoons make one tablespoon.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 78.72 tbsp, based on molasses 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 59.01 ounces: 59.01 × 28.3495 = 1,672.91g, then 1,672.91 ÷ 340 = 4.92 cups × 16 = 78.72 tbsp.
Weighing molasses 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 molasses 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: 78.72 tbsp ÷ 16 = 4.92031 cups, then 4.92031 × 340g/cup = 1,672.91g, then 1,672.91g ÷ 28.3495 = 59.01 ounces. Or use the Tablespoons to Ounces converter.
