Measuring 225g of Vegetable / Canola Oil in the Kitchen
Because 1 US Customary Cup (236.6 mL) of vegetable / canola oil weighs 218g when measured poured liquid, 225 Grams (225g) translates to 1.03 US cups (1 cup + 1 ½ tsp). By contrast, using the 100% pure canola oil measure (218g/cup — an identical per-cup density), 225g occupies 1 cup + 1 ½ tsp (1.03 cups).
Without a kitchen scale, measure 1 cup + 1 ½ tsp (16.51 tablespoons total) using poured liquid technique. Pour into liquid measure or tare container on kitchen scale. Neutral oils maintain uniform 0.92 g/mL density across room temperatures.
