Formula and Step-by-Step

teaspoons × 5.31g/tsp ÷ 28.3495g/oz = ounces

Start with 8 teaspoons of soy sauce
1 teaspoon of soy sauce = 5.31g
8 × 5.31 = 42.5g
Convert grams to ounces: 42.5 ÷ 28.3495 = 1.50 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?

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?

Weight ounces and fluid ounces are different measurements. A fluid ounce measures volume (29.574 ml), while an ounce measures weight (28.35g). They only align for water, where 1 fl oz weighs approximately 1 oz.
