![]() Jell-O brand is sold in 3-oz and 6-oz boxes, which use 2 cups (16 fluid ounces) and 4 cups (32 fluid ounces) of water. However, a single 5-oz package of D'Gari gelatin is prepared with 4 cups of water (32 fluid ounces). You mention in the comments that the recipe needs "14 oz of prepared Jello liquid." If water has been added to the gelatin powder, then presumably this mixture would be measured as a volume (fluid ounces). That number is NOT a volume, which would be listed as fluid ounces (fl oz). For example, when the box says "3 oz," that means that the dry powder inside *weighs* 3 ounces. But again, for a volume, "FL OZ" (not just "OZ") will always be used on product packages.įlavored gelatin powder is sold by weight. ![]() If the metric equivalent is in milliliters (mL) or liters (L), then it refers to a volume. ![]() If the metric equivalent is in grams ("g"), then the "OZ" refers to a weight. One way to verify this is that there is usually a metric equivalent given. On a food package, if the number that's listed refers to a volume, then it will typically say "FL OZ." If the package just says "OZ," then that is a weight. For other substances (water, sugar, butter, etc.), the conversions will be different, as the relationship between ounces (weight) and fluid ounces (volume) depends on the density of the substance being measured. This same amount of flour weighs about 0.52 ounces (weight). For example, 1/8 cup of flour = 1 fluid ounce of flour (volume). These two types of "ounces" are NOT interchangeable. But "ounce" can also refer to a fluid ounce, which is a unit of volume that is 1/8 of a cup (in other words, 1 cup = 8 fluid ounces). An "ounce" can refer to a unit of weight that is 1/16 of a pound (in other words, 1 pound = 16 ounces). The term "ounce" (which is abbreviated as "oz") can be ambiguous and misleading. There seems to be some confusion in the comments here regarding the "14 oz" of gelatin in the recipe. You only get one shot at flipping, so make sure the cake is ready!
