Based on USDA FoodData Central data (1 US cup = 240ml = 16 tablespoons = 48 teaspoons). Note: Vegetable oil (canola, soybean blend) is lighter than water — all fats are. 1 cup = 218g. Oil is always liquid at room temperature. For baking, oils add moisture differently than butter (no steam = denser crumb).
About Vegetable Oil Density
The density of vegetable oil determines how much it weighs per unit of volume. At 0.908g/ml, 1 US cup (240ml) of vegetable oil weighs 218g under USDA standard conditions.
Volume measurements can vary by ±10–20% depending on technique (sifted vs. spooned vs. scooped). For consistent baking results, use a kitchen scale with gram measurements whenever possible. The USDA standard (spooned-and-leveled) is the reference point for all values on this page.
