I see that you are getting may different answers and I am no good at knowing either. I have a book before me called, HERSHEY'S Chocolate Cookbook. I didn't find the answer. The book tells about how to melt it and using cocoa instead of Chocolate.
There are tips from the experts: Wash and dry the melting utensil thoroughly after each use. Any residue will affect the taste of chocolate.
-A wet utensil or the condensation of steam droplets can cause chocolate to get stiff and grainy. Don't panic.-As an emergency measure, simply stir in 1 teaspoon solid vegetble shortening (not butter) for every 2 ounces of chocolate. Sorry it doesn't tell me how many teaspoons to the ounce. Experiment on your own for that.
I think I'm getting close. USING COCOA in stand of CHOCOLATE. Cocoa is so convenient to use that many cooks use it as a substitute for chocolate in their favorite recipes. HERE'S an easy formula:
FOR unsweetened baking chocolate: 3 level tablespoons cocoa plus 1 tablespoon shortening (liquid or solid) equals 1 block (1 ounce).
FOR semi-sweet chocolate: 6 tablespoons cocoa plus 7 tablespoons sugar plus 1/4 cup shortening equals one 6-ounce package (1 cup) semi-sweet chocolate chips or 6 blocks (1 ounce each) semi-sweet chocolate.
FOR sweet baking chocolate: 3 tablespoons cocoa plus 4 1/2 tablespoons sugar plus 2 2/3 tablespoons shortening equals 1 bar (4 ounces).

3 Tbs. cocoa and 1 Tbs. melted shortening or oil is equivilant to 1 oz. of chocolate, so i would say it's safe to say 1 oz. of melted chocolate is equal to 1 Tbs. Hope this helps.
