Formula and Step-by-Step

teaspoons × 5.13g/tsp ÷ 28.3495g/oz = ounces

Start with 15 teaspoons of ricotta

15 × 5.13 = 76.88g
Convert grams to ounces: 76.88 ÷ 28.3495 = 2.71 oz

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

Measuring Tip

Ricotta should be at room temperature for accurate volume measurement. Cold ricotta holds air pockets that change the weight.

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.
