How to convert tablespoons of vegetable oil to grams
A US tablespoon is 1/16 of a cup. One cup of vegetable oil weighs about 218 g, so one tablespoon is 14 g and 3 × 14 = 41 g.
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 grams is 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil?
3 tablespoons of vegetable oil is 41 grams, based on 218 g per level US cup.
Is a tablespoon the same everywhere?
Almost. US and UK tablespoons hold about 15 ml and teaspoons about 5 ml. Australia is the exception: an Australian tablespoon is 20 ml (4 teaspoons), so use ¾ of an Australian tablespoon to match a US one.
