Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 872 grams of vegetable oil
- 1 cup of vegetable oil = 218g
- 872g ÷ 218g/cup = 4 cups × 0.5 = 2.00 pints
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Oils are lighter than water, so the same volume weighs less. Pour slowly into the measuring cup for accuracy, and wipe any drips from the outside before reading.

Understanding the Units
What is a Gram?
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 Pint?
A US pint equals 473.176 ml, 2 cups, or 16 fluid ounces. It is used for liquids, ice cream, and other volume measurements in American cooking.
