Tips & common mistakes

Quick tips

  • 1 oz = 28.35 g exactly (avoirdupois); 1 troy oz = 31.10 g.
  • 16 oz = 1 lb in the avoirdupois system used for food.
  • When converting a US recipe, 1 oz ≈ 2 tablespoons of a liquid ingredient.

Avoid these

  • Confusing mass ounces (28.35 g) with fluid ounces (volume).
  • Using avoirdupois ounces (28.35 g) for precious-metal pricing — gold is in troy ounces (31.10 g).
  • Multiplying lb × 16 and calling the result oz — correct only for weight, not volume.
