Measuring Tip
Sticky liquids like molasses are easier to measure if you lightly oil the measuring spoon first. The liquid will slide out cleanly.
Understanding the Units
What is a Tablespoon?
Tablespoon sizes differ by country. A US tablespoon is 14.787 ml, close to the 15 ml metric standard used in most countries. An Australian tablespoon is 20 ml, about 35% larger than US. An imperial tablespoon is 17.758 ml. If your recipe comes from Australia, the larger tablespoon size can make a real difference.
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
1 tablespoon of molasses is 0.75 oz. The conversion depends on the density of molasses and scales proportionally for any amount.
Weighing molasses on a kitchen scale is strongly recommended. Molasses is thick and sticky, so it clings to measuring cups and spoons, making volume measurements less reliable than for thinner liquids. If you must measure by volume, lightly oil the cup first so the molasses slides out cleanly.
Approximately. Sauces, syrups, and processed liquids can vary somewhat by brand and recipe. The tablespoons to ounces result for molasses should be treated as a close estimate rather than an exact value.
Molasses is dense and sticky, so it clings to measuring cups and does not pour cleanly. Volume measurements can easily be off by 5-10% depending on how much molasses stays stuck to the container. A kitchen scale avoids this entirely and is the recommended way to measure sticky liquids.
