How to convert ounces of vegetable oil to cups
Weight ounces first become grams (1 oz = 28.35 g), so 12 oz = 340 g. One US cup of vegetable oil weighs 218 g, so 340 ÷ 218 = 1.56 cups.
Fats are close to water in density, so cup and gram amounts stay predictable. Weigh solid fats for the best accuracy.
