3 tablespoons of condensed milk equals 2.02 oz. Condensed milk has a density of 306g per cup (19.13g per tablespoon), which means it's relatively light compared to other common cooking ingredients. For comparison, 3 tablespoons of honey would be 2.25 oz.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 3 tablespoons of condensed milk
- 1 tablespoon of condensed milk = 19.13g
- 3 × 19.13 = 57.38g
- Convert grams to ounces: 57.38 ÷ 28.3495 = 2.02 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
