Formula and Step-by-Step

(ounces × 28.35g/oz) ÷ 218g/cup × 236.588 = milliliters

Start with 16 ounces of coconut oil
Convert ounces to grams: 16 × 28.35 = 453.59g
1 cup of coconut oil = 218g
453.59g ÷ 218g/cup = 2.08 cups × 236.588 = 492.27 milliliters

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

Measuring Tip

Liquid densities vary: oils weigh less per cup than water, while syrups and honey weigh more. This is why ingredient-specific conversions matter even for liquids.
