Formula and Step-by-Step

teaspoons × 4.79g/tsp ÷ 28.3495g/oz = ounces
  1. Start with 240 teaspoons of baking powder
  2. 1 teaspoon of baking powder = 4.79g
  3. 240 × 4.79 = 1,150g
  4. Convert grams to ounces: 1,150 ÷ 28.3495 = 40.57 oz

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

Measuring Tip

Baking powder can clump or settle during storage. Stir or sift before measuring by volume for consistent results.

Understanding the Units

What is a Teaspoon?

A teaspoon (tsp) is a US customary unit of volume equal to 4.929 milliliters or 1/3 of a tablespoon. It is the standard measure for spices, leaveners, extracts, and other small-quantity ingredients.

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 40.57 oz, based on baking powder having a density of 230g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Multiply the number of teaspoons by 4.79 (grams per teaspoon for baking powder), then divide by 28.3495 to convert grams to ounces. For 240 teaspoons: 240 × 4.79 = 1,150g, then 1,150 ÷ 28.3495 = 40.57 oz.
For the most accurate results, weigh baking powder 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.
Weight-per-cup values vary because of differences in how the ingredient is measured (spooned vs scooped), grind size, moisture content, and settling during storage. Our values use standardized measurement methods from established culinary references.
