How Much Is 240 Teaspoons of Cornstarch in Ounces?
Converting 240 teaspoons of cornstarch to ounces gives 22.58 oz. One teaspoon of cornstarch weighs 2.67g, so 240 teaspoons is 240 × 2.67 = 640g (22.58 oz). This conversion is specific to cornstarch because each ingredient has a different density.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 240 teaspoons of cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon of cornstarch = 2.67g
- 240 × 2.67 = 640g
- Convert grams to ounces: 640 ÷ 28.3495 = 22.58 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
For the most consistent results, weigh cornstarch on a kitchen scale. Volume measurements can vary by 20-30% depending on how the flour is scooped.

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?
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.
