Why Does 1 Cup of Vegetable Oil Vary?
The weight of 1 cup depends on how you measure. USDA standard (spooned) = 218g.
Standard pour
Pour into measuring cup at eye level. All liquid measurements are consistent — density doesn't change with measuring technique.
ConsistentAbout Vegetable Oil Density
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).
Pro tip: For consistent baking results, use a kitchen scale. Weight measurements eliminate the variability of cup measurement entirely. USDA values shown are based on the spooned & leveled method.
