Frequently Asked Questions

About 159.99 oz, based on sour cream having a density of 230g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Multiply the number of cups by 230 (grams per cup for sour cream), then divide by 28.3495 to convert grams to ounces. For 19.72 cups: 19.72 × 230 = 4,535.6g, then 4,535.6 ÷ 28.3495 = 159.99 oz.
For the most accurate results, weigh sour cream on a kitchen scale. If measuring by volume, spoon the ingredient into the measuring cup and level it off with a straight edge rather than scooping directly.
Fat content has a small effect on density. Higher-fat versions are slightly lighter per volume because fat is less dense than water. The difference is usually under 5%, so this conversion works well for standard varieties.
Reverse the conversion: 159.99 oz × 28.3495 = 4,535.6g, then 4,535.6g ÷ 230 = 19.72 cups. Or use the Ounces to Cups converter.
