How many tablespoons equal 5 ounces of cottage cheese?

You can't directly convert ounces to tablespoons when it comes to cottage cheese. Here's why:

* Density: Cottage cheese is not a liquid. It's a solid with a varying consistency. The density of cottage cheese can vary depending on the brand and fat content.

* Spoon Size: A tablespoon is a measure of volume, but how much cottage cheese fits into a tablespoon depends on how densely it's packed.

Instead of tablespoons, think about weight:

* 5 ounces is a weight measurement, and it's the most accurate way to measure cottage cheese.

If you're using a recipe that calls for tablespoons, you might need to experiment a bit to see how much 5 ounces fills in your tablespoon.
