Formula and Step-by-Step

teaspoons × 4.27g/tsp ÷ 28.3495g/oz = ounces

Start with 1 teaspoon of lard
1 teaspoon of lard = 4.27g
1 × 4.27 = 4.27g
Convert grams to ounces: 4.27 ÷ 28.3495 = 0.15 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.

Does the fat content of lard change the weight? expand_more

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.
