What is the best way to measure honey? expand_more

If you have a kitchen scale, weighing honey gives you an exact starting point for this conversion. If you need to measure by volume instead, lightly oil the measuring cup first so honey slides out cleanly, then read the level on a flat surface.

Will a different brand of honey give the same pounds to cups result? expand_more

Approximately. Sauces, syrups, and processed liquids can vary somewhat by brand and recipe. The pounds to cups result for honey should be treated as a close estimate rather than an exact value.

Can I convert pounds to cups without specifying the ingredient? expand_more

The same weight of different ingredients fills different volumes because each ingredient has a different density. A pound of honey fills a different number of cups than a pound of a lighter or heavier ingredient. That is why this converter needs to know which ingredient you are measuring.
