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 vegetable oil weighs about 231 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 vegetable oil accurately
Pour vegetable oil into a liquid measuring cup set on a level counter, checking the bottom of the meniscus at eye level. Oil coats cups heavily, which makes volume pours slightly inaccurate if you need every drop. Weighing the oil directly into your bowl avoids messy cleanup.
