How Much Is 9.6 Teaspoons of Cornstarch in Ounces?
9.6 teaspoons of cornstarch weighs 0.90 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 9.6 teaspoons.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 9.6 teaspoons of cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon of cornstarch = 2.67g
- 9.6 × 2.67 = 25.6g
- Convert grams to ounces: 25.6 ÷ 28.3495 = 0.90 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?
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.
