Measuring Tip
Lard is solid at room temperature. Spoon it into the measuring spoon and pack gently, then level off. Softened lard is easier to measure by volume than cold lard straight from the fridge.
Understanding the Units
What is a Tablespoon?
A tablespoon (tbsp) is a US customary unit of volume equal to 14.787 milliliters, 3 teaspoons, or 1/16 of a cup. It is commonly used for measuring smaller amounts of ingredients.
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.

The most accurate way is to weigh lard on a kitchen scale. If you are measuring by volume, spoon the ingredient into the measuring spoon and level it off with a straight edge rather than scooping directly from the container, which packs more in and gives a heavier result.
Mostly. The tablespoons to ounces conversion for lard may vary slightly (typically within 3-5%) based on fat content and brand formulation.
Weighing is more consistent than volume measuring. A tablespoon of lard 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.
