Formula and Step-by-Step

pints × 504g/pt ÷ 28.3495g/oz = ounces
  1. Start with 2 pints of evaporated milk
  2. 1 pint of evaporated milk = 504g
  3. 2 × 504 = 1,008g
  4. Convert grams to ounces: 1,008 ÷ 28.3495 = 35.56 oz

The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.

Measuring Tip

For liquids, place your measuring cup on a flat surface and read at eye level. The bottom of the meniscus (the curve at the surface) should align with the measurement line.

Understanding the Units

What is a Pint?

US and UK pints are very different sizes. A US pint is 473 ml while a UK (imperial) pint is 568 ml, making the UK pint about 20% larger. A "pint of milk" in a British recipe is significantly more than in an American recipe.

What is an Ounce?

An ounce (oz) is a US customary unit of weight equal to 28.3495 grams or 1/16 of a pound. In cooking, "ounces" refers to weight (avoirdupois ounces), not fluid ounces which measure volume.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 35.56 oz, based on evaporated milk having a density of 252g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Multiply the number of pints by 504 (grams per pint for evaporated milk), then divide by 28.3495 to convert grams to ounces. For 2 pints: 2 × 504 = 1,008g, then 1,008 ÷ 28.3495 = 35.56 oz.
For the most accurate results, weigh evaporated milk on a kitchen scale. If measuring by volume, use a liquid measuring cup on a flat surface and read the level at eye height.
Temperature has a minimal effect on most cooking liquids. The density of evaporated milk changes slightly with temperature, but the difference is usually less than 1-2% between refrigerator and room temperature. This conversion assumes room temperature.
