Understanding Vegetable Oil Conversions
The Math Behind This Conversion
To convert 1 gram of vegetable oil to metric cup, we divide by the density (0.92 g/ml). First, 1g ÷ 0.92 g/ml = 1.1ml. Then, dividing by the metric cup volume (250ml): 1.1ml ÷ 250ml = 0 metric cup.
Measurement Tip
Measure vegetable oil in a liquid measuring cup (the kind with a spout) placed on a flat surface. Read the measurement at eye level, looking at the bottom of the meniscus (the curved surface of the liquid). For sticky liquids like honey, lightly coat the measuring cup with oil first to help it slide out easily.
