How much would 2 pints of cherry tomatoes weigh? I have no idea how to measure 2 pints of tomatoes.

Question

Karen H. · Answer

Selling cherry tomatoes in pints must be an American thing. In most- if not all- European countries- only liquids are  measured in pints. All types of tomatoes are sold by solid weight

Mister K. · Answer

While this is the correct way to purchase cherry tomatoes, it is not the correct way to measure them.  Cherry tomatoes are, indeed, sold in a pint.  This pint, though, is a "dry" pint and will not measure 2 cups of tomatoes.

Or you can just eyeball and be imprecise. The pasta will  turn out just fine.

Merrill S. · Answer

Cherry tomatoes are often sold by the pint, so you can just pick up two containers. Or simply measure out 4 cups, as Susan W suggested.

Susan W. · Answer

Since pints are volume and not weight measurements, just measure out two cups per pint. Cherry tomatoes differ in weight, so using a measuring cup is the way to go.
