How to measure vegetable oil
- Liquids: use a clear cup on the counter and read it at eye level.
- Thick things (sour cream, cream cheese, peanut butter): spoon them in, press out air pockets, level, and scrape the cup clean.
- Butter: cut at the wrapper's tablespoon lines; a stick is 8 tablespoons.
- For the same result every time, weigh it: put the bowl on the scale, press tare, then add vegetable oil to the weight above.
Where the number comes from
USDA FoodData Central (public domain): Oil, vegetable, soybean, refined (FDC 172370), from the food's own measured cup, tablespoon or teaspoon weight. A US cup is 236.6 ml.
