Grams to Ounces for Cooking
1 ounce equals 28.35 grams, so to turn grams into ounces you divide by 28.35. A 100 g block of chocolate is 3.53 oz. Convert any amount with the converter.
Quick answer: 1 oz = 28.35 g · 1 g = 0.035 oz · 100 g = 3.53 oz · 1 lb = 453.6 g = 16 oz
These are weight ounces, not fluid ounces
This page converts the ounce of weight (avoirdupois), the one on a kitchen scale. It is not the fluid ounce, which measures volume. If your recipe means liquid, see how many ounces in a cup instead. The two share a name but measure different things, and mixing them up is the classic conversion mistake.

Getting the most from a kitchen scale
A digital scale that reads both grams and ounces makes most of this conversion unnecessary at the counter, but the chart still helps when a recipe lists one unit and your scale is set to the other. Use the tare button to zero the bowl before each ingredient, so you weigh only what you add. Small amounts under 5 grams are where cheap scales struggle, so for yeast, salt, and spices a set of measuring spoons is often more reliable than a scale that only reads to the nearest gram or quarter ounce.
Weigh, do not guess. A scale set to grams is the surest way to match a recipe, and the free baking converter turns any weight into ounces, pounds, or cups by ingredient.
