Formula and Step-by-Step

teaspoons × 3g/tsp ÷ 28.3495g/oz = ounces
  1. Start with 6 teaspoons of cream of tartar
  2. 1 teaspoon of cream of tartar = 3g
  3. 6 × 3 = 18g
  4. Convert grams to ounces: 18 ÷ 28.3495 = 0.63 oz

The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.

Measuring Tip

Baking powder loses potency over time. If yours is more than 6 months old, test it: drop a teaspoon into hot water. If it bubbles vigorously, it is still active.
