Formula and Step-by-Step

teaspoons × 4.73g/tsp ÷ 28.3495g/oz = ounces

Start with 120 teaspoons of butter
1 teaspoon of butter = 4.73g
120 × 4.73 = 567.5g
Convert grams to ounces: 567.5 ÷ 28.3495 = 20.02 oz

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

Measuring Tip

Softened butter and melted butter measure differently by volume. Melted butter settles with no air pockets, giving a slightly higher weight per cup.

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?

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.
