How Much Is 48 Teaspoons of Cornstarch in Ounces?
48 teaspoons of cornstarch weighs 4.52 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 48 teaspoons.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 48 teaspoons of cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon of cornstarch = 2.67g
- 48 × 2.67 = 128g
- Convert grams to ounces: 128 ÷ 28.3495 = 4.52 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.
