Formula and Step-by-Step

tablespoons × 8g/tbsp = grams
  1. Start with 28.35 tablespoons of cornstarch
  2. 1 tablespoon of cornstarch = 8g
  3. 28.35 × 8 = 226.8g

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

Measuring Tip

Humidity affects cornstarch weight. In humid conditions, flour absorbs moisture and weighs more per cup. Store it in an airtight container for consistent results.

Understanding the Units

What is a Tablespoon?

Tablespoon sizes differ by country. A US tablespoon is 14.787 ml, close to the 15 ml metric standard used in most countries. An Australian tablespoon is 20 ml, about 35% larger than US. An imperial tablespoon is 17.758 ml. If your recipe comes from Australia, the larger tablespoon size can make a real difference.

What is a Gram?

Grams are the preferred unit in professional kitchens and bakeries because they allow exact recipe scaling. To double a recipe, simply double the gram values. No need to worry about how tightly an ingredient is packed into a cup.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 226.80 g, based on cornstarch having a density of 128g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Multiply the number of tablespoons by 8 (grams per tablespoon for cornstarch). For 28.35 tablespoons: 28.35 × 8 = 226.80 g.
For the most accurate results, weigh cornstarch on a kitchen scale. If measuring by volume, sift or whisk first to break up clumps, then spoon into the measuring spoon and level off. Do not scoop directly from the bag.
Yes, quite a bit. If you spoon the flour into your measuring spoon and level it off, you will get about 128 grams per cup. If you dip directly into the flour bag and sweep level, the flour packs tighter and you can end up with 140.8 to 160 grams per cup instead. This conversion uses the spoon-and-level method, which is the standard most baking references follow.
Reverse the conversion: 226.80 g ÷ 8 = 28.35 tablespoons. Or use the Grams to Tablespoons converter.
