Measuring Tip
Sticky liquids like molasses are easier to measure if you lightly oil the measuring cup first. The liquid will slide out cleanly.
Understanding the Units
What is a Pound?
A pound (lb) is a US customary unit of weight equal to 453.592 grams or 16 ounces. It is used for larger quantities of ingredients like flour, sugar, and meat.
What is a Pint?
US and UK pints are very different sizes. A US pint is 473 ml while a UK (imperial) pint is 568 ml, making the UK pint about 20% larger. A "pint of milk" in a British recipe is significantly more than in an American recipe.
Frequently Asked Questions
1 pound of molasses is 0.67 pt. The conversion depends on the density of molasses and scales proportionally for any amount.
If you have a kitchen scale, weighing molasses gives you an exact starting point for this conversion. If you need to measure by volume instead, lightly oil the measuring cup first so molasses slides out cleanly, then read the level on a flat surface.
Approximately. Sauces, syrups, and processed liquids can vary somewhat by brand and recipe. The pounds to pints result for molasses should be treated as a close estimate rather than an exact value.
The same weight of different ingredients fills different volumes because each ingredient has a different density. A pound of molasses fills a different number of pints than a pound of a lighter or heavier ingredient. That is why this converter needs to know which ingredient you are measuring.
