How Much Is 21.15 Teaspoons of Cornstarch in Ounces?
21.15 teaspoons of cornstarch weighs 1.99 oz. This is based on cornstarch having a density of 128g per cup. Because teaspoons measure volume and ounces measure weight, the result depends on the ingredient, and a different ingredient would give a different result for the same 21.15 teaspoons.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 21.15 teaspoons of cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon of cornstarch = 2.67g
- 21.15 × 2.67 = 56.4g
- Convert grams to ounces: 56.4 ÷ 28.3495 = 1.99 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Humidity affects cornstarch weight. In humid conditions, flour absorbs moisture and weighs more per cup. Store it in an airtight container for consistent results.

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.
