Formula and Step-by-Step

pints × 436g/pt ÷ 453.592g/lb = pounds
  1. Start with 2.08 pints of vegetable oil
  2. 1 pint of vegetable oil = 436g
  3. 2.08 × 436 = 906.88g
  4. Convert grams to pounds: 906.88 ÷ 453.592 = 2.00 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.
