Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 4.77 pounds of buttermilk
- Convert pounds to grams: 4.77 × 453.59 = 2,163.64g
- 1 cup of buttermilk = 245g
- 2,163.64g ÷ 245g/cup = 8.83 cups ÷ 4.22675 = 2.09 liters
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Liquid densities vary: oils weigh less per cup than water, while syrups and honey weigh more. This is why ingredient-specific conversions matter even for liquids.
