How Much Is 42.52 Tablespoons of Cornstarch in Grams?
42.52 tablespoons of cornstarch weighs 340.16 g. This is based on cornstarch having a density of 128g per cup. Because tablespoons measure volume and grams measure weight, the result depends on the ingredient, and a different ingredient would give a different result for the same 42.52 tablespoons.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 42.52 tablespoons of cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon of cornstarch = 8g
- 42.52 × 8 = 340.16g
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Different flour types have very different weights per cup. Always check the specific flour your recipe calls for rather than using a generic "flour" conversion.

Understanding the Units
What is a Tablespoon?
A tablespoon is roughly the volume of a large soup spoon. In precise terms, 1 US tablespoon equals 14.787 ml, which is very close to the 15 ml metric standard used in most of the world. Three teaspoons make one tablespoon.
What is a Gram?
Weighing ingredients in grams eliminates the variability of volume measurements. A cup of flour can weigh anywhere from 120g to 160g depending on how it was scooped, but 120g of flour is always 120g of flour.
