About Cornstarch Density
The density of cornstarch determines how much it weighs per unit of volume. At 0.533g/ml, 1 US cup (240ml) of cornstarch weighs 128g under USDA standard conditions.
1 tablespoon = 1/16 cup = 15ml. For cornstarch, this equals 8g per tablespoon. Tablespoon measurements are useful for amounts between 1 teaspoon and 1/4 cup. For very precise recipes, weigh tablespoon amounts on a scale to avoid density variation errors.
