Formula and Step-by-Step

tablespoons × 12.81g/tbsp ÷ 28.3495g/oz = ounces
  1. Start with 35.4 tablespoons of lard
  2. 1 tablespoon of lard = 12.81g
  3. 35.4 × 12.81 = 453.56g
  4. Convert grams to ounces: 453.56 ÷ 28.3495 = 16.00 oz

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

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 than cold.

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?

Ounces are commonly used in US recipes for cheese, meat, chocolate, and other ingredients sold by weight. Many kitchen scales offer both gram and ounce readings.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 16.00 oz, based on lard having a density of 205g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Multiply the number of tablespoons by 12.81 (grams per tablespoon for lard), then divide by 28.3495 to convert grams to ounces. For 35.4 tablespoons: 35.4 × 12.81 = 453.56g, then 453.56 ÷ 28.3495 = 16.00 oz.
For the most accurate results, weigh lard 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.
Fat content has a small effect on density. Higher-fat versions are slightly lighter per volume because fat is less dense than water. The difference is usually under 5%, so this conversion works well for standard varieties.
Reverse the conversion: 16.00 oz × 28.3495 = 453.56g, then 453.56g ÷ 12.81 = 35.4 tablespoons. Or use the Ounces to Tablespoons converter.
