Formula and Step-by-Step

tablespoons × 15.94g/tbsp ÷ 28.3495g/oz = ounces
  1. Start with 1.57 tablespoons of soy sauce
  2. 1 tablespoon of soy sauce = 15.94g
  3. 1.57 × 15.94 = 25.02g
  4. Convert grams to ounces: 25.02 ÷ 28.3495 = 0.88 oz

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

Measuring Tip

Liquid densities vary: oils weigh less per cup than water, while syrups and honey weigh more. This is why ingredient-specific conversions matter even for liquids.
