Formula and Step-by-Step

tablespoons × 15.94g/tbsp ÷ 28.3495g/oz = ounces
  1. Start with 3.56 tablespoons of soy sauce
  2. 1 tablespoon of soy sauce = 15.94g
  3. 3.56 × 15.94 = 56.74g
  4. Convert grams to ounces: 56.74 ÷ 28.3495 = 2.00 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.

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?

An ounce (oz) is a US customary unit of weight equal to 28.3495 grams or 1/16 of a pound. In cooking, "ounces" refers to weight (avoirdupois ounces), not fluid ounces which measure volume.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 2.00 oz, based on soy sauce having a density of 255g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Multiply the number of tablespoons by 15.94 (grams per tablespoon for soy sauce), then divide by 28.3495 to convert grams to ounces. For 3.56 tablespoons: 3.56 × 15.94 = 56.74g, then 56.74 ÷ 28.3495 = 2.00 oz.
For the most accurate results, weigh soy sauce on a kitchen scale. If measuring by volume, use a liquid measuring spoon on a flat surface and read the level at eye height.
Temperature has a minimal effect on most cooking liquids. The density of soy sauce changes slightly with temperature, but the difference is usually less than 1-2% between refrigerator and room temperature. This conversion assumes room temperature.
Reverse the conversion: 2.00 oz × 28.3495 = 56.74g, then 56.74g ÷ 15.94 = 3.56 tablespoons. Or use the Ounces to Tablespoons converter.
