Measuring step this site recommends: poured into a liquid measuring cup at room temperature.
When sources disagree, follow your recipe: use its gram weights if it gives them, or measure the way its author did. The adopted value is one stated convention, not a correction of the other sources.
A comparable source-cup value only scales a half-cup or tablespoon serving to one source cup. When a source does not state the cup's exact volume, we do not present it as a fixed-milliliter normalization.
Measurement notes
- Vegetable oil is a category, not one substance; the adopted value applies specifically to refined soybean oil.
- Measure it as a liquid at eye level and avoid retaining oil on another container during transfer.
- Canola, corn, sunflower, and blended oils are close but not guaranteed to match exactly.
Common mistakes
- Assuming 1 cup of vegetable oil (soybean) equals 240g like water — it is actually 218g per US cup.
- Pouring in as many cups of oil as the recipe calls for in butter, though a cup of oil weighs less.
