Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 0.54 ounces of ricotta
- Convert ounces to grams: 0.54 × 28.35 = 15.31g
- 1 cup of ricotta = 246g
- 15.31g ÷ 246g/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
Spoon ricotta into the measuring spoon and pack gently to fill gaps. Do not scoop directly from the container, which leaves air pockets.
