What Is An Ounce?

Ounces are a common measuring unit in the U.S.

An ounce is a unit of weight measurement equal to 1/16 pound in the imperial system. It’s abbreviated as “oz” in recipes and other scenarios requiring measurements.

In cooking and baking, ounces are used for precise measurements of dry ingredients. One ounce is equivalent to 4 tablespoons or 28 grams.

Don’t mistake the ounce for the fluid ounce, though. The fluid ounce is a unit of volume and it’s typically used to measure wet ingredients.

If a recipe calls for a dry ingredient in ounces, it refers to the weight measurement unit and will require a kitchen scale.

Wet ingredients listed in ounces indicate the fluid ounce, sometimes abbreviated as “fl oz“, and you should measure them using a liquid measuring cup.

What Is A Cup?

A cup is a unit of volume measurement part of the U.S. customary system. It’s used for measuring both dry and liquid ingredients, and you may find it abbreviated as “c” or “C” in recipes and cookbooks.

There are measuring cups specifically designed to measure dry or liquid ingredients, and I recommend investing in both kinds.

One cup equals 8 fluid ounces, 16 tablespoons, 48 teaspoons, or 237 milliliters.

How Many Cups Are 14 Oz?

If you want to find out how many cups are 14 oz, you must first look at the ingredient you’re trying to measure and see if it’s wet or dry.

Fluid Ounces To Cups

Converting fluid ounces to cups is easy since they’re both units of volume.

1 Cup = 8 Fluid ounces

1 Fluid ounce = 1/8 Cup

14 Fluid ounces = 1/8 x 14 Cup = 0.125 x 14 Cup

14 Fluid ounces = 1.75 cups

Now that you know 14 fluid ounces equal 1.75 cups, you can use the formula below for other ounce-to-cup conversions:

X Fluid ounces = 0.125 x X Cups

Next time you need to figure out how many cups is a certain number of ounces, simply multiply that number by 0.125.

Dry Ounces To Cups

Dry ounces are a unit of weight, and cups are a unit of volume which means converting between them must take the density of the ingredient into account.

Here are some examples of common ingredients:

  • Flour (plain or self-rising): 1 cup = 4.5 ounces
  • Granulated sugar: 1 cup = 7.09 ounces
  • Oats: 1 cup = 3.6 ounces

Let’s do the math for flour. So, we already know that

1 cup = 4.5 ounces

This means that

1 ounce = 1/4.5 cups = 0.222 cups

The end goal is to find out how many cups are 14 dry ounces of flour.

14 ounces = 0.222 x 14 cups

14 ounces = 3.11 cups

You’ll find ready-made ounce to cups conversions for various cooking and baking ingredients online so you don’t need to do the math unless you want to.

Here’s a chart with dry ounces to cup conversions for various pantry staples you can use when you’re in a pinch!

How To Convert 14.5 Oz To Cups

14.5 ounces is a standard volume for canned goods in the U.S. You’re definitely not the only one trying to make this conversion!

We already have the fluid ounces to cups formula, which means calculating 14.5 oz to cups will be a piece of cake!

X Fluid ounces = 0.125 x X Cups

14.5 Fluid ounces = 0.125 x 14.5 Cups

14.5 Fluid ounces = 1.8125 Cups or approximately 1 4/5 cups

For dry ingredients, use the table above to find out how much they weigh in dry ounces and divide 1 by the number of ounces to find out how many cups is one ounce.

Then, multiply the result by 14.5 and you’ll have your answer!

How To Use A Liquid Measuring Cup

The liquid measuring cup was designed to measure wet ingredients by volume

Liquid measuring cups are designed to measure wet ingredients such as water, milk, and oil. If the recipe calls for a wet ingredient in ounces, it’s referring to fluid ounces.

Most liquid measuring cups will have scale markings so you can get an accurate volume for your ingredients.

When measuring a wet ingredient, place the measuring cup on a flat surface and keep it at eye level as you fill it to the appropriate line.

To measure 14 fluid ounces, you’ll need to fill 1.75 cups (1 3/4 cups). For 14.5 ounces, measure 1.8125 cups (1 4/5 cups).

Here’s a simple conversion chart with conversions between fluid ounces and units of volume.

How To Use A Dry Measuring Cup

Use this cup to measure dry ingredients for your recipes

If you have a kitchen scale, I highly recommend you use it instead of a dry measuring cup. The scale offers the most accurate way to measure dry ingredients.

However, if the recipe calls for dry ingredients in cups, it’s totally fine to use them instead of a scale.

Even when you have an ingredient listed in ounces, if you know how to use a dry measuring cup, you’ll be able to get the exact quantity you need.

To measure a dry ingredient correctly, scoop it using the cup in one sweeping motion and level it off using a straight-edged knife, a spatula, another similar tool, or your finger.

Avoid overpacking or underpacking the ingredient. This will likely cause an incorrect measurement and can affect how your recipe turns out.

Also, make sure your measuring tools are clean and dry so none of the measured ingredients will stick to them.
