Formula and Step-by-Step

tablespoons × 9.38g/tbsp ÷ 28.3495g/oz = ounces
  1. Start with 3.02 tablespoons of cornmeal
  2. 1 tablespoon of cornmeal = 9.38g
  3. 3.02 × 9.38 = 28.31g
  4. Convert grams to ounces: 28.31 ÷ 28.3495 = 1.00 oz

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

Measuring Tip

Pour grains into the measuring spoon and level off. Do not shake or tap, as this settles the grains and increases the weight.

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 an Ounce?

Weight ounces and fluid ounces are different measurements. A fluid ounce measures volume (29.574 ml), while an ounce measures weight (28.35g). They only align for water, where 1 fl oz weighs approximately 1 oz.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 1.00 oz, based on cornmeal having a density of 150g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Multiply the number of tablespoons by 9.38 (grams per tablespoon for cornmeal), then divide by 28.3495 to convert grams to ounces. For 3.02 tablespoons: 3.02 × 9.38 = 28.31g, then 28.31 ÷ 28.3495 = 1.00 oz.
For the most accurate results, weigh cornmeal on a kitchen scale. If measuring by volume, spoon the ingredient into the measuring spoon and level it off with a straight edge rather than scooping directly.
Weight-per-cup values vary because of differences in how the ingredient is measured (spooned vs scooped), grind size, moisture content, and settling during storage. Our values use standardized measurement methods from established culinary references.
Reverse the conversion: 1.00 oz × 28.3495 = 28.31g, then 28.31g ÷ 9.38 = 3.02 tablespoons. Or use the Ounces to Tablespoons converter.
