|---|---|---|---|
| Half Batch (0.5×) | 200g (7.05 oz) | ¾ cup + 2 tbsp + 2 tsp | 217.1 mL |
| Standard (1×) | 400g (14.11 oz) | 1 ¾ cups + 1 tbsp + 1 tsp | 434.1 mL |
| 1.5× Batch | 600g (21.16 oz) | 2 ¾ cups | 651.2 mL |
| Double Batch (2×) | 800g (28.22 oz) | 3 ⅔ cups | 868.2 mL |

Measuring 400g of Coconut Oil in the Kitchen
Because 1 US Customary Cup (236.6 mL) of coconut oil weighs 218g when measured solid spooned or poured liquid, 400 Grams (400g) translates to 1.83 US cups (1 ¾ cups + 1 tbsp + 1 tsp). By contrast, using the melted liquid (above 76°f) measure (218g/cup — an identical per-cup density), 400g occupies 1 ¾ cups + 1 tbsp + 1 tsp (1.83 cups).
Without a kitchen scale, measure 1 ¾ cups + 1 tbsp + 1 tsp (29.36 tablespoons total) using solid spooned or poured liquid technique. Coconut oil liquefies at 76°F (24°C). When solid, pack firmly into measuring cup; when warm and clear, measure as liquid.
