2.67 pints of molasses equals 4.00 lb. Molasses has a density of 340g per cup (680g per pint), which means it's relatively heavy compared to other common cooking ingredients. For comparison, 2.67 pints of all-purpose flour would be 1.47 lb.
A US pint equals 473.176 ml, 2 cups, or 16 fluid ounces. It is used for liquids, ice cream, and other volume measurements in American cooking.
What is a Pound?
The abbreviation "lb" comes from the Latin word "libra." One pound equals exactly 453.59237 grams. For rough mental math, 1 pound is slightly less than half a kilogram.
About 4.00 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 2.67 pints: 2.67 × 680 = 1,815.6g, then 1,815.6 ÷ 453.592 = 4.00 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: 4.00 lb × 453.592 = 1,815.6g, then 1,815.6g ÷ 680 = 2.67 pints. Or use the Pounds to Pints converter.
