Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 0.33 pounds of vegetable oil
- Convert pounds to grams: 0.33 × 453.59 = 149.69g
- 1 cup of vegetable oil = 218g
- 149.69g ÷ 218g/cup = 0.69 cups ÷ 4.22675 = 0.16 liters
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
For liquids, place your measuring cup on a flat surface and read at eye level. The bottom of the meniscus (the curve at the surface) should align with the measurement line.
