Is there a formula to use for knowing the number of ounces in a can when its size is indicated by a number like as a No. 2 can?
Yes. A number 10 can (large institutional size vegetable can) is 15 cups, approximately. A number 5 can is 7 1/2 cups (half the size of a # 10), a number 2 can is 3 cups and a number 1 can is 1 1/2 cups. Basically take the can number and multiply by 1 1/2 cups to get an equivalent size. NOTE: Recent changes in product canning to reduce volumes and increase profits, makes can sizes less reliable. For instance a number 10 can could actually be as small as 13 cups as a result of these changes. Just be aware that originally can sizes were as outlined above, so if you are using a recipe using cans for a reference and the recipe was pre 2001 , then the original amounts given are correct. As a result of recent changes the cans are referred by their dimensions, diameter first then height. A #10 can (604x700) was originally 6 4/16 inch diameter by 7 inches tall. or 214 cubic inches, this is 0.93 gallons or precisely 14.85 cups, generally referred as 15 cups, with smaller specified cans numbered based on this basic determination (a #2-1/2 can being 1/4 the size of a #10).
