Formula and Step-by-Step

teaspoons × 4.96g/tsp ÷ 28.3495g/oz = ounces

Start with 8 teaspoons of heavy cream
1 teaspoon of heavy cream = 4.96g
8 × 4.96 = 39.67g
Convert grams to ounces: 39.67 ÷ 28.3495 = 1.40 oz

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

Measuring Tip

For liquids, place your measuring spoon on a flat surface and read at eye level. The bottom of the meniscus (the curve at the surface) should align with the measurement line.
