How Much Is 24 Tablespoons of Ricotta in Ounces?
24 tablespoons of ricotta weighs 13.02 oz. This is based on ricotta having a density of 246g per cup. Because tablespoons measure volume and ounces measure weight, the result depends on the ingredient, and a different ingredient would give a different result for the same 24 tablespoons.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 24 tablespoons of ricotta
- 1 tablespoon of ricotta = 15.38g
- 24 × 15.38 = 369g
- Convert grams to ounces: 369 ÷ 28.3495 = 13.02 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.

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?
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.
