Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 0.16 tablespoons of cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon of cornstarch = 8g
- 0.16 × 8 = 1.28g
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
For the most consistent results, weigh cornstarch on a kitchen scale. Volume measurements can vary by 20-30% depending on how the flour is scooped.
