Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 3.78 pounds of condensed milk
- Convert pounds to grams: 3.78 × 453.59 = 1,714.58g
- 1 cup of condensed milk = 306g
- 1,714.58g ÷ 306g/cup = 5.60 cups ÷ 4.22675 = 1.33 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.
