Formula and Step-by-Step

pints × 680g/pt ÷ 453.592g/lb = pounds
  1. Start with 0.33 pints of molasses
  2. 1 pint of molasses = 680g
  3. 0.33 × 680 = 224.4g
  4. Convert grams to pounds: 224.4 ÷ 453.592 = 0.49 lb

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 0.49 lb, based on molasses 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 molasses), then divide by 453.592 to convert grams to pounds. For 0.33 pints: 0.33 × 680 = 224.4g, then 224.4 ÷ 453.592 = 0.49 lb.
Weighing molasses 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 molasses 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: 0.49 lb × 453.592 = 224.4g, then 224.4g ÷ 680 = 0.33 pints. Or use the Pounds to Pints converter.
