Measuring Tip
Carton egg whites and yolks have very consistent density, making them easier to measure by volume than freshly separated eggs. If your recipe calls for a specific gram amount, carton products are the most predictable.
Understanding the Units
What is a Teaspoon?
A US teaspoon is 4.929 ml, a metric teaspoon is exactly 5 ml, and an imperial teaspoon is 5.919 ml. The metric and US versions are nearly identical (1.4% difference), but the imperial teaspoon is 20% larger. For most spices the difference is negligible, but for leaveners like baking powder it can affect the result.
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.
Frequently Asked Questions
1 teaspoon of egg yolks is 0.19 oz. This conversion uses the ingredient's density and scales proportionally - pick an amount or try the calculator.
The most accurate way is to weigh egg yolks on a kitchen scale, since individual eggs vary in size. If you are measuring by volume, pour into the measuring spoon on a flat surface and read the level at eye height. Egg yolks are liquid and settle naturally, so volume measurements are reasonably consistent.
Egg sizes vary naturally, so the teaspoons to ounces result can differ by 5-10% between individual eggs. This conversion uses large eggs as the standard. For carton egg yolks, the density is very consistent.
Weighing is more consistent than volume measuring. A teaspoon of egg yolks can vary by 10-20% depending on how it's scooped, packed, or leveled. Weighing gives the same result every time, which is especially important in baking where precision affects texture and rise.
