Formula and Step-by-Step

pints × 680g/pt ÷ 28.3495g/oz = ounces
  1. Start with 3 pints of honey
  2. 1 pint of honey = 680g
  3. 3 × 680 = 2,040g
  4. Convert grams to ounces: 2,040 ÷ 28.3495 = 71.96 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?

The pint is one of the most confusing measurements across countries because the difference between US and UK versions is so large. Always check which country a recipe comes from before measuring in pints.

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 71.96 oz, based on honey having a density of 340g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Multiply the number of pints by 680 (grams per pint for honey), then divide by 28.3495 to convert grams to ounces. For 3 pints: 3 × 680 = 2,040g, then 2,040 ÷ 28.3495 = 71.96 oz.
Weighing honey 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 honey changes slightly with temperature, but the difference is usually less than 1-2% between refrigerator and room temperature. This conversion assumes room temperature.
