Measuring 400g of Extra-Virgin Olive Oil in the Kitchen
Because 1 US Customary Cup (236.6 mL) of extra-virgin olive oil weighs 216g when measured poured liquid, 400 Grams (400g) translates to 1.85 US cups (1 ¾ cups + 1 tbsp + 2 tsp). By contrast, using the standard refined olive oil measure (216g/cup — an identical per-cup density), 400g occupies 1 ¾ cups + 1 tbsp + 2 tsp (1.85 cups).
Without a kitchen scale, measure 1 ¾ cups + 1 tbsp + 2 tsp (29.63 tablespoons total) using poured liquid technique. Pour steadily into a liquid measuring cup set flat on the counter, checking meniscus at eye level, or weigh on a gram scale.
