Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 11.84 tablespoons of cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon of cornstarch = 8g
- 11.84 × 8 = 94.72g
- Convert grams to ounces: 94.72 ÷ 28.3495 = 3.34 oz
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.
