Formula and Step-by-Step

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

Start with 144 teaspoons of butter
1 teaspoon of butter = 4.73g
144 × 4.73 = 681g
Convert grams to ounces: 681 ÷ 28.3495 = 24.02 oz

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

Measuring Tip

Cold butter straight from the fridge is hardest to measure by volume. Cut it into tablespoon-sized pieces using the wrapper markings for accuracy.

Understanding the Units

What is a Teaspoon?

In baking, teaspoon measurements are critical for ingredients where precision changes the outcome. Too much baking soda (1 tsp = 6g) creates a metallic taste, while too little means flat results.

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.
