Vegetable Oil
Gram to Ounce
Understanding Vegetable Oil Conversions
The Math Behind This Conversion
To convert 1 grams of vegetable oil to ounces, divide by 28.3495 (the number of grams per ounce). So 1g ÷ 28.3495 = 0oz.
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.

Weighing vegetable oil gives more consistent results than volume measurements. A cup of vegetable oil can vary by 10-20% depending on how it's measured (spooned vs scooped). Professional bakers always weigh ingredients for this reason.
Vegetable Oil has a density of 0.92 g/ml, meaning each milliliter weighs 0.92 grams. Different ingredients have different densities—for example, flour is lighter than sugar—which is why each needs its own conversion factor.
