Formula and Step-by-Step

teaspoons × 4.27g/tsp ÷ 28.3495g/oz = ounces
  1. Start with 0.23 teaspoons of lard
  2. 1 teaspoon of lard = 4.27g
  3. 0.23 × 4.27 = 0.98g
  4. Convert grams to ounces: 0.98 ÷ 28.3495 = 0.03 oz

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

Measuring Tip

Lard is solid at room temperature. Spoon it into the measuring spoon and pack gently, then level off. Softened lard is easier to measure than cold.

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?

Ounces are commonly used in US recipes for cheese, meat, chocolate, and other ingredients sold by weight. Many kitchen scales offer both gram and ounce readings.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 0.03 oz, based on lard having a density of 205g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Multiply the number of teaspoons by 4.27 (grams per teaspoon for lard), then divide by 28.3495 to convert grams to ounces. For 0.23 teaspoons: 0.23 × 4.27 = 0.98g, then 0.98 ÷ 28.3495 = 0.03 oz.
For the most accurate results, weigh lard on a kitchen scale. If measuring by volume, spoon the ingredient into the measuring spoon and level it off with a straight edge rather than scooping directly.
Fat content has a small effect on density. Higher-fat versions are slightly lighter per volume because fat is less dense than water. The difference is usually under 5%, so this conversion works well for standard varieties.
