Formula and Step-by-Step

(ounces × 28.35g/oz) ÷ 218g/cup = cups
  1. Start with 22.86 ounces of coconut oil
  2. Convert ounces to grams: 22.86 × 28.35 = 648.07g
  3. 1 cup of coconut oil = 218g
  4. 648.07g ÷ 218g/cup = 2.97 cups

The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.

Measuring Tip

Oils are lighter than water, so the same volume weighs less. Pour slowly into the measuring cup for accuracy, and wipe any drips from the outside before reading.

Understanding the Units

What is an Ounce?

Weight ounces and fluid ounces are different measurements. A fluid ounce measures volume (29.574 ml), while an ounce measures weight (28.35g). They only align for water, where 1 fl oz weighs approximately 1 oz.

What is a Cup?

The US cup (236.588 ml) is slightly smaller than the metric cup used in Australia and some other countries (250 ml). When following recipes from different countries, check which cup standard is being used.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 2.97 cups, based on coconut oil having a density of 218g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
First convert ounces to grams (1 ounce = 28.3495g), then divide by 218 (grams per cup). For 22.86 ounces: 22.86 × 28.3495 = 648.07g, then 648.07 ÷ 218 = 2.97 cups.
For the most accurate results, weigh coconut oil on a kitchen scale. If measuring by volume, use a liquid measuring cup on a flat surface and read the level at eye height.
Temperature has a minimal effect on most cooking liquids. The density of coconut oil changes slightly with temperature, but the difference is usually less than 1-2% between refrigerator and room temperature. This conversion assumes room temperature.
Reverse the conversion: 2.97 cups × 218g/cup = 648.07g, then 648.07g ÷ 28.3495 = 22.86 ounces. Or use the Cups to Ounces converter.
