How to measure vegetable oil

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

Most cooking oils (sunflower, canola, mustard, groundnut) weigh 215–220 g per cup.

Also called: sunflower, canola, refined oil.

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.
