How Much Is 48 Teaspoons of Egg Yolks in Ounces?
48 teaspoons of egg yolks weighs 8.92 oz. This is based on egg yolks having a density of 253g 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 egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon of egg yolks = 5.27g
- 48 × 5.27 = 253g
- Convert grams to ounces: 253 ÷ 28.3495 = 8.92 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
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?
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.
