How to convert ounces of shortening to cups
Weight ounces first become grams (1 oz = 28.35 g), so 10 oz = 283 g. One US cup of shortening weighs 190 g, so 283 ÷ 190 = 1.49 cups.
Fats are close to water in density, so cup and gram amounts stay predictable. Weigh solid fats for the best accuracy.

Frequently asked questions
How many cups is 10 ounces of shortening?
10 ounces of shortening is about 1½ cups (1.49 cups), based on 190 g per level US cup.

Slightly. UK, Australian and New Zealand recipes use a 250 ml metric cup, which is about 6% bigger than a US cup (236.6 ml). In metric cups, 10 ounces of shortening is 1.41 cups.
Should I weigh shortening or measure it by volume?
Fats are close to water in density, so cup and gram amounts stay predictable. Weigh solid fats for the best accuracy. Weighing is always more accurate, which is why grams are the safest choice for baking.
