Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 48.01 ounces of lard
- Convert ounces to grams: 48.01 × 28.35 = 1,361.06g
- 1 cup of lard = 205g
- 1,361.06g ÷ 205g/cup = 6.64 cups × 16 = 106.23 tablespoons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Lard and butter have similar densities per cup (lard is 205g vs butter at 227g), but they are not interchangeable by weight in recipes because the flavor and moisture content differ.
