Converting 28.33 grams of molasses to liters gives 0.02 L. Divide by the density of molasses (340g per cup). Each ingredient fills a different volume at the same weight.
Weighing ingredients in grams eliminates the variability of volume measurements. A cup of flour can weigh anywhere from 120g to 160g depending on how it was scooped, but 120g of flour is always 120g of flour.
What is a Liter?
A liter (L) is a metric unit of volume equal to 1,000 milliliters or approximately 4.227 US cups. It is the standard large-volume measurement for cooking worldwide outside the US.
About 0.02 L, based on molasses having a density of 340g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Divide the grams by 340 (grams per cup) to get cups, then divide by 4.22675 to get liters. For 28.33 grams: 28.33 ÷ 340 = 0.08 cups ÷ 4.22675 = 0.02 L.
Weighing molasses on a kitchen scale is strongly recommended. It is thick and sticky, so it clings to measuring vessels. If you must measure by volume, lightly oil the measuring cup first so it slides out cleanly.
Temperature has a minimal effect on most cooking liquids. The density of molasses changes slightly with temperature, but the difference is usually less than 1-2% between refrigerator and room temperature. This conversion assumes room temperature.
Reverse the conversion: 0.02 L × 4.22675 = 0.0833235 cups, then 0.0833235 × 340g/cup = 28.33g. Or use the Liters to Grams converter.
