How Much Is 9.39 Teaspoons of Cornstarch in Ounces?
9.39 teaspoons of cornstarch weighs 0.88 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 9.39 teaspoons.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 9.39 teaspoons of cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon of cornstarch = 2.67g
- 9.39 × 2.67 = 25.04g
- Convert grams to ounces: 25.04 ÷ 28.3495 = 0.88 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Different flour types have very different weights per cup. Always check the specific flour your recipe calls for rather than using a generic "flour" conversion.

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.
