Formula and Step-by-Step

(ounces × 28.35g/oz) ÷ 218g/cup × 16 = tablespoons
  1. Start with 5.77 ounces of vegetable oil
  2. Convert ounces to grams: 5.77 × 28.35 = 163.58g
  3. 1 cup of vegetable oil = 218g
  4. 163.58g ÷ 218g/cup = 0.75 cups × 16 = 12.01 tablespoons

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

Measuring Tip

Liquid densities vary: oils weigh less per cup than water, while syrups and honey weigh more. This is why ingredient-specific conversions matter even for liquids.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 12.01 tbsp, based on vegetable oil having a density of 218g 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 218 (grams per cup), then multiply by 16 to get tablespoons. For 5.77 ounces: 5.77 × 28.3495 = 163.58g, then 163.58 ÷ 218 = 0.75 cups × 16 = 12.01 tbsp.
For the most accurate results, weigh vegetable oil on a kitchen scale. If measuring by volume, use a liquid measuring spoon on a flat surface and read the level at eye height.
Temperature has a minimal effect on most cooking liquids. The density of vegetable oil changes slightly with temperature, but the difference is usually less than 1-2% between refrigerator and room temperature. This conversion assumes room temperature.
Reverse the conversion: 12.01 tbsp ÷ 16 = 0.750352 cups, then 0.750352 × 218g/cup = 163.58g, then 163.58g ÷ 28.3495 = 5.77 ounces. Or use the Tablespoons to Ounces converter.
