Metric cups and other cup sizes
The figures above use the US customary cup of 236.6 ml. A metric cup is 250 ml, so a metric cup of coconut oil weighs about 230 grams. UK recipes that say "cup" usually mean a 250 ml metric cup, which is why weighing in grams is more reliable than measuring by volume.
Measuring coconut oil accurately
Solid coconut oil should be pressed firmly into a dry measuring cup to remove trapped air pockets before leveling. If melted, pour it into a liquid measuring cup and read the line at eye level. Weighing coconut oil avoids the confusion of converting between its solid and liquid states.
