How to convert ounces of shredded cheddar to cups
Weight ounces first become grams (1 oz = 28.35 g), so 5 oz = 142 g. One US cup of shredded cheddar weighs 113 g, so 142 ÷ 113 = 1.25 cups.
Measure liquids in a clear jug at eye level. Thick dairy like yogurt or sour cream should be levelled in a dry cup.
