Formula and Step-by-Step

teaspoons × 4.73g/tsp ÷ 28.3495g/oz = ounces
  1. Start with 174 teaspoons of butter
  2. 1 teaspoon of butter = 4.73g
  3. 174 × 4.73 = 822.88g
  4. Convert grams to ounces: 822.88 ÷ 28.3495 = 29.03 oz

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

Measuring Tip

Butter is easiest to measure using the markings on the wrapper. One US stick = 113g = 1/2 cup = 8 tablespoons.

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?

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 29.03 oz, based on butter having a density of 227g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Multiply the number of teaspoons by 4.73 (grams per teaspoon for butter), then divide by 28.3495 to convert grams to ounces. For 174 teaspoons: 174 × 4.73 = 822.88g, then 822.88 ÷ 28.3495 = 29.03 oz.
For the most accurate results, weigh butter 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.
Fat content has a small effect on density. Higher-fat versions are slightly lighter per volume because fat is less dense than water. The difference is usually under 5%, so this conversion works well for standard varieties.
