1.58 pints of corn syrup equals 2.29 lb. Corn syrup has a density of 328g per cup (656g per pint), which means it's relatively heavy compared to other common cooking ingredients. For comparison, 1.58 pints of all-purpose flour would be 0.87 lb.
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 a Pound?
Pounds are the standard weight unit for buying ingredients in the US. A standard bag of flour is 5 pounds (2,268g) and a standard bag of sugar is 4 pounds (1,814g).
About 2.29 lb, based on corn syrup having a density of 328g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Multiply the number of pints by 656 (grams per pint for corn syrup), then divide by 453.592 to convert grams to pounds. For 1.58 pints: 1.58 × 656 = 1,036.48g, then 1,036.48 ÷ 453.592 = 2.29 lb.
Weighing corn syrup 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 corn syrup changes slightly with temperature, but the difference is usually less than 1-2% between refrigerator and room temperature. This conversion assumes room temperature.
Reverse the conversion: 2.29 lb × 453.592 = 1,036.48g, then 1,036.48g ÷ 656 = 1.58 pints. Or use the Pounds to Pints converter.
