How many grams is 2 tablespoons of cornstarch?
Answer
One US tablespoon (14.8 ml) of cornstarch weighs 8 grams, from USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy entry 169698 “Cornstarch”, portion “1 cup” = 128 grams, and 1 US cup = 16 US tablespoons.
2 tablespoons of cornstarch equals 16 grams; the way back, from grams to tablespoons, is the Grams to Tablespoons converter.
2 US tablespoons of cornstarch is also 1/8 US cup or 6 US teaspoons — the same 16 grams.
This is the level US tablespoon of 14.8 ml. A recipe from Australia means the tablespoon of 20 ml, 35.3 % more: 21.6 grams; the metric tablespoon of 15 ml (UK, New Zealand, Canada) gives 16.2 grams.
How 2 tablespoons of cornstarch was converted to grams

(sixteen grams)
The weight of the tablespoon comes from USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy entry 169698 “Cornstarch”, portion “1 cup” = 128 grams, and 1 US cup = 16 US tablespoons. Scooped ingredients vary with how they are filled — spooned in lightly, a tablespoon weighs less; packed down, more — so for baking a kitchen scale is the exact tool and this figure the standard reference.

The other way round: how many tablespoons a weight fills
This page starts from tablespoons and answers in grams. The opposite question — how many tablespoons a weight from a recipe fills — is what the grams to tablespoons converter is for. Both read the same USDA weights, so their numbers agree: 100 grams of cornstarch is 12.5 tablespoons there.
