How Much Is 1.63 Ounces of Ricotta in Tablespoons?
1.63 ounces of ricotta equals 3.01 tbsp. Ricotta has a density of 246g per cup. A lighter ingredient like flour (125g/cup) would fill more volume at the same weight, which is why ingredient-specific conversions matter.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 1.63 ounces of ricotta
- Convert ounces to grams: 1.63 × 28.35 = 46.21g
- 1 cup of ricotta = 246g
- 46.21g ÷ 246g/cup = 0.19 cups × 16 = 3.01 tablespoons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Ricotta weighs 246g per cup. For small amounts, weighing on a scale is more reliable than spooning into a measuring spoon.

Understanding the Units
What is an Ounce?

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.
