Frequently Asked Questions

About 55.37 tbsp, based on tomato paste having a density of 262g 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 262 (grams per cup), then multiply by 16 to get tablespoons. For 31.98 ounces: 31.98 × 28.3495 = 906.62g, then 906.62 ÷ 262 = 3.46 cups × 16 = 55.37 tbsp.
For the most accurate results, weigh tomato paste 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.
Weight-per-cup values vary because of differences in how the ingredient is measured (spooned vs scooped), grind size, moisture content, and settling during storage. Our values use standardized measurement methods from established culinary references.
Reverse the conversion: 55.37 tbsp ÷ 16 = 3.46037 cups, then 3.46037 × 262g/cup = 906.62g, then 906.62g ÷ 28.3495 = 31.98 ounces. Or use the Tablespoons to Ounces converter.
