Formula and Step-by-Step

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

Start with 2 teaspoons of ricotta

2 × 5.13 = 10.25g
Convert grams to ounces: 10.25 ÷ 28.3495 = 0.36 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.
