Formula and Step-by-Step

pints × 476g/pt ÷ 28.3495g/oz = ounces

Start with 2 pints of heavy cream
1 pint of heavy cream = 476g
2 × 476 = 952g
Convert grams to ounces: 952 ÷ 28.3495 = 33.58 oz

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