Formula and Step-by-Step

pints × 490g/pt ÷ 28.3495g/oz = ounces
  1. Start with 1 pint of tomato sauce
  2. 1 pint of tomato sauce = 490g
  3. 1 × 490 = 490g
  4. Convert grams to ounces: 490 ÷ 28.3495 = 17.28 oz

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

Measuring Tip

Liquid densities vary: oils weigh less per cup than water, while syrups and honey weigh more. This is why ingredient-specific conversions matter even for liquids.

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?

Ounces are commonly used in US recipes for cheese, meat, chocolate, and other ingredients sold by weight. Many kitchen scales offer both gram and ounce readings.
