Formula and Step-by-Step

teaspoons × 5.31g/tsp ÷ 28.3495g/oz = ounces
  1. Start with 4 teaspoons of soy sauce
  2. 1 teaspoon of soy sauce = 5.31g
  3. 4 × 5.31 = 21.25g
  4. Convert grams to ounces: 21.25 ÷ 28.3495 = 0.75 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.

Understanding the Units

What is a Teaspoon?

One teaspoon holds about 5 milliliters. There are 3 teaspoons in a tablespoon and 48 teaspoons in a cup. Teaspoon accuracy matters most with leaveners like baking powder and baking soda, where small differences affect rise and texture.

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 0.75 oz, based on soy sauce having a density of 255g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Multiply the number of teaspoons by 5.31 (grams per teaspoon for soy sauce), then divide by 28.3495 to convert grams to ounces. For 4 teaspoons: 4 × 5.31 = 21.25g, then 21.25 ÷ 28.3495 = 0.75 oz.
