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.
Understanding the Units
What is a Pound?
Pounds are the standard weight unit for buying ingredients in the US. A standard bag of flour is 5 pounds (2,268g) and a standard bag of sugar is 4 pounds (1,814g).
What is a Gallon?
For large-batch cooking, 1 US gallon is approximately 3.8 liters. The imperial gallon (4.5 liters) is no longer commonly used in the UK for cooking, as most modern British recipes use metric measurements.

Very close. Pure liquid densities are consistent across brands, so the pounds to gallons conversion for coconut oil typically varies by less than 2-3%.
The same weight of different ingredients fills different volumes because each ingredient has a different density. A pound of coconut oil fills a different number of gallons than a pound of a lighter or heavier ingredient. That is why this converter needs to know which ingredient you are measuring.
