How Much Is 24 Tablespoons of Vegetable Oil in Ounces?
24 tablespoons of vegetable oil weighs 11.53 oz. This is based on vegetable oil having a density of 218g 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 vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil = 13.63g
- 24 × 13.63 = 327g
- Convert grams to ounces: 327 ÷ 28.3495 = 11.53 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?
Ounces are commonly used in US recipes for cheese, meat, chocolate, and other ingredients sold by weight. Many kitchen scales offer both gram and ounce readings.
