Frequently Asked Questions

About 1.07 oz, based on parmesan (finely grated) having a density of 80g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Multiply the number of tablespoons by 5 (grams per tablespoon for parmesan (finely grated)), then divide by 28.3495 to convert grams to ounces. For 6.08 tablespoons: 6.08 × 5 = 30.4g, then 30.4 ÷ 28.3495 = 1.07 oz.
For the most accurate results, weigh parmesan (finely grated) 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: 1.07 oz × 28.3495 = 30.4g, then 30.4g ÷ 5 = 6.08 tablespoons. Or use the Ounces to Tablespoons converter.
