About ounces Cornstarch (ounces)
Ounces of Cornstarch. Measured by US avoirdupois ounce (= 28.349523125 g exactly per NIST SP 811 — distinct from fluid ounce which is a volume unit). Mass-ounce measurement is preferred in US butcher/bakery/professional contexts where precision matters but the recipe uses imperial customary units. Common US baking ingredient packages list both ounces (mass) + grams: a stick of butter = 4 oz = 113 g; a 'pound' of flour = 16 oz = 454 g. CRITICAL: do NOT confuse with the troy ounce (~31.1 g — used only for precious metals) or the fluid ounce (volume unit = 29.57 mL). Cornstarch (corn flour in British English; not to be confused with US 'cornmeal' which is much coarser) is the white starchy powder extracted from the endosperm of corn kernels (Zea mays). The starch granules are virtually pure carbohydrate (amylose + amylopectin), with no protein, gluten, or fiber. Density ~0.540 g/mL (1 cup unsifted = 120 g per Argo/Bob's Red Mill). The dominant US food-thickening agent — typically 1-2 tablespoons cornstarch dispersed in cold liquid ('slurry') stirred into 1 cup of hot liquid produces a glossy translucent thickening as the starch granules absorb water + swell (gelatinization peaks at 71-87°C). Acidic ingredients (lemon juice, tomato sauce) and prolonged simmering can break down cornstarch thickening — add at the end of cooking. Also used in: deep-frying batters (Chinese velveting technique), gluten-free flour blends, baby powder, pharmaceutical pill binders. Major US brands: Argo, Bob's Red Mill, Clabber Girl, Rumford. Distinct from arrowroot, tapioca starch, potato starch, rice flour — each with slightly different gelatinization behavior. Density: 0.540 g/mL (used to convert volume measurements to mass).
About teaspoons Cornstarch (teaspoons)
Teaspoons of Cornstarch. Measured by US teaspoon (= 5 mL = 1/3 US tablespoon = 1/48 US cup per FDA 21 CFR 101.9). The teaspoon is the standard US measure for small dry ingredients (salt, sugar, baking powder, spices) + small liquid amounts (vanilla extract, lemon juice). Common multiples: 1/4 tsp (1.25 mL), 1/2 tsp (2.5 mL), 1 tsp (5 mL). 'Heaping teaspoon' is informally ~50% more than level (can vary widely). Most US measuring-spoon sets include 1/4, 1/2, 1, and 1 tablespoon (= 3 tsp) increments.
