Measuring Tip
One large egg white weighs approximately 30g and one large egg yolk weighs approximately 17g. Weighing separated eggs is more reliable than counting, since individual eggs vary in size.
Understanding the Units
What is a Tablespoon?
One tablespoon holds about 15 milliliters. There are 16 tablespoons in a cup and 3 teaspoons in a tablespoon. In baking, tablespoon measurements are used for butter, oil, honey, and other ingredients where a full cup would be too much.
What is an Ounce?
An ounce (oz) is a US customary unit of weight equal to 28.3495 grams or 1/16 of a pound. In cooking, "ounces" refers to weight (avoirdupois ounces), not fluid ounces which measure volume.

The most accurate way is to weigh egg yolks on a kitchen scale, since individual eggs vary in size. If you are measuring by volume, pour into the measuring spoon on a flat surface and read the level at eye height. Egg yolks are liquid and settle naturally, so volume measurements are reasonably consistent.
Egg sizes vary naturally, so the tablespoons to ounces result can differ by 5-10% between individual eggs. This conversion uses large eggs as the standard. For carton egg yolks, the density is very consistent.
Weighing is more consistent than volume measuring. A tablespoon of egg yolks can vary by 10-20% depending on how it's scooped, packed, or leveled. Weighing gives the same result every time, which is especially important in baking where precision affects texture and rise.
