  2. Convert ounces to grams: 16.23 × 28.35 = 460.11g
  3. 1 cup of sour cream = 230g
  4. 460.11g ÷ 230g/cup = 2.00 cups × 16 = 32.01 tablespoons

The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 32.01 tbsp, based on sour cream having a density of 230g 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 230 (grams per cup), then multiply by 16 to get tablespoons. For 16.23 ounces: 16.23 × 28.3495 = 460.11g, then 460.11 ÷ 230 = 2.00 cups × 16 = 32.01 tbsp.
For the most accurate results, weigh sour cream on a kitchen scale. If measuring by volume, spoon the ingredient into the measuring spoon and level it off with a straight edge rather than scooping directly.
Fat content has a small effect on density. Higher-fat versions are slightly lighter per volume because fat is less dense than water. The difference is usually under 5%, so this conversion works well for standard varieties.
Reverse the conversion: 32.01 tbsp ÷ 16 = 2.00049 cups, then 2.00049 × 230g/cup = 460.11g, then 460.11g ÷ 28.3495 = 16.23 ounces. Or use the Tablespoons to Ounces converter.
