Formula and Step-by-Step

tablespoons × 15.38g/tbsp ÷ 28.3495g/oz = ounces
  1. Start with 32 tablespoons of ricotta
  2. 1 tablespoon of ricotta = 15.38g
  3. 32 × 15.38 = 492g
  4. Convert grams to ounces: 492 ÷ 28.3495 = 17.35 oz

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

Measuring Tip

Ricotta should be at room temperature for accurate volume measurement. Cold ricotta holds air pockets that change the weight.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 17.35 oz, based on ricotta having a density of 246g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Multiply the number of tablespoons by 15.38 (grams per tablespoon for ricotta), then divide by 28.3495 to convert grams to ounces. For 32 tablespoons: 32 × 15.38 = 492g, then 492 ÷ 28.3495 = 17.35 oz.
For the most accurate results, weigh ricotta 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: 17.35 oz × 28.3495 = 492g, then 492g ÷ 15.38 = 32 tablespoons. Or use the Ounces to Tablespoons converter.
