16 ounces of evaporated milk equals 1.80 cups. That's 453.59g, and Evaporated milk has a density of 252g per cup. Because ounces measure weight and cups measure volume, the result depends on the ingredient's density.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 16 ounces of evaporated milk
- Convert ounces to grams: 16 × 28.35 = 453.59g
- 1 cup of evaporated milk = 252g
- 453.59g ÷ 252g/cup = 1.8 cups
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
