Formula and Step-by-Step

teaspoons × 4.58g/tsp ÷ 28.3495g/oz = ounces
  1. Start with 144 teaspoons of brown sugar
  2. 1 teaspoon of brown sugar = 4.58g
  3. 144 × 4.58 = 660g
  4. Convert grams to ounces: 660 ÷ 28.3495 = 23.28 oz

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

Measuring Tip

If your brown sugar has hardened, microwave it with a damp paper towel for 20 seconds. Hard brown sugar is still the same weight but impossible to measure by volume.

Understanding the Units

What is a Teaspoon?

One teaspoon holds about 5 milliliters. There are 3 teaspoons in a tablespoon and 48 teaspoons in a cup. Teaspoon accuracy matters most with leaveners like baking powder and baking soda, where small differences affect rise and texture.

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.
