Measuring Tip
For liquids, place your measuring spoon on a flat surface and read at eye level. The bottom of the meniscus (the curve at the surface) should align with the measurement line.
Understanding the Units
What is an Ounce?
Ounces are commonly used in US recipes for cheese, meat, chocolate, and other ingredients sold by weight. Many kitchen scales offer both gram and ounce readings.
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.

If you have a kitchen scale, weighing water gives you an exact starting point for this conversion. If you need to measure by volume instead, use a liquid measuring spoon on a flat surface and read the level at eye height.
Very close. Pure liquid densities are consistent across brands, so the ounces to tablespoons conversion for water typically varies by less than 2-3%.
The same weight of different ingredients fills different volumes because each ingredient has a different density. An ounce of water fills a different number of tablespoons than an ounce of a lighter or heavier ingredient. That is why this converter needs to know which ingredient you are measuring.
