Remember the Magic Ratio: 1 oz = 2 Tbsp
For Larger Amounts:
* Multiple the ounce value by 2 to get the equivalent tablespoons.
* Example: 5 oz x 2 = 10 Tbsp
For Smaller Amounts:
* Divide the ounce value by 2 to get the equivalent tablespoons (rounded to the nearest whole number).
* Example: 1 oz ÷ 2 = 1/2 Tbsp (rounded to 1 Tbsp)
For Advanced Conversions:
* Use a kitchen scale or measuring cups for accurate results.
* If the recipe calls for a fraction of an ounce, use a measuring spoon or convert the fraction to decimal form.
