How to Measure Vegetable Oil Correctly

Why Cup-to-Grams Accuracy Matters for Vegetable Oil
Small cup changes create big weight differences. For vegetable oil, 4 1/2 cups is about 979g, but just 1/4 cup more jumps to 1034g.
This is why cup-based recipes can drift: packed, loose, or sifted volume can shift your actual grams. Using grams keeps hydration and texture consistent across batches.
