1.08 ounces of ricotta equals 1.99 tbsp. That's 30.62g, and Ricotta has a density of 246g per cup. Because ounces measure weight and tablespoons measure volume, the result depends on the ingredient's density.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 1.08 ounces of ricotta
- Convert ounces to grams: 1.08 × 28.35 = 30.62g
- 1 cup of ricotta = 246g
- 30.62g ÷ 246g/cup = 0.12 cups × 16 = 1.99 tablespoons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Ricotta should be at room temperature for accurate volume measurement. Cold ricotta holds air pockets that change the weight.

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?
One tablespoon holds about 15 milliliters. There are 16 tablespoons in a cup and 3 teaspoons in a tablespoon. In baking, tablespoon measurements are used for butter, oil, honey, and other ingredients where a full cup would be too much.
