How to Convert Ounces to Teaspoons

When cooking, you sometimes come across a recipe where you need to convert ounces to teaspoons. This typically happens when you want to multiply or divide the recipe. Managing teaspoons can be much easier than ounces, and understanding the ratio of teaspoons to ounces can be helpful.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. Consider how many ounces make up 1 cup. To remember how to convert ounces to teaspoons, start with understanding the basic measurements used in baking. There are 8 ounces in a cup. Therefore there is 1 ounce in 1/8 cup.

2. Consider how many tablespoons make up a cup. There are 16 tablespoons in 1 cup.

3. Consider how many tablespoons make up 1 ounce. Once again, having a grasp of the different measurement ratios will help you in future conversions. Two tablespoons make up 1 ounce.

4. Consider how many teaspoons make up 1 tablespoon. There are 3 teaspoons in each tablespoon. Therefore, if there are 2 tablespoons in 1 ounce, that means there are 6 teaspoons in 1 ounce.

5. Multiply the number of ounces by 6 to convert ounces to teaspoons. If you have 2 ounces, multiply by 6, which would mean 2 ounces is the same as 12 teaspoons.
