How to convert ounces of cornstarch to cups
Weight ounces first become grams (1 oz = 28.35 g), so 8 oz = 227 g. One US cup of cornstarch weighs 120 g, so 227 ÷ 120 = 1.89 cups.
Spoon flour into the cup and level it with a knife. Scooping straight from the bag packs it down and can add 20–30% more.

Frequently asked questions
How many cups is 8 ounces of cornstarch?
8 ounces of cornstarch is about 1⅞ cups (1.89 cups), based on 120 g per level US cup.

Slightly. UK, Australian and New Zealand recipes use a 250 ml metric cup, which is about 6% bigger than a US cup (236.6 ml). In metric cups, 8 ounces of cornstarch is 1.79 cups.
