How to measure olive oil

Liquid oils are measured in a liquid measuring cup at eye level. Solid fats are pressed into the cup with no air pockets.

Weights are for a level US cup (236.6 ml) and level spoons, from USDA FoodData Central household measures. Brands and packing vary by a few per cent; when a recipe gives grams, weigh rather than measure.
