How ½ cup of vegetable oil works out
One US cup of vegetable oil weighs 218 grams, so multiply by 0.5 to get half a cup: 218 × 0.5 = 109 g. In the other direction, 109 g of vegetable oil divided by 218 brings you back to ½ cup.
If you have no scales, ½ cup is 8 level tablespoons of vegetable oil (24 teaspoons), because a US cup holds 16 tablespoons. In a 250 ml metric cup — the Australian, New Zealand and modern UK standard — the same fraction is 115 g.
Tip: Measure oil in a liquid measuring cup, and if a recipe needs both oil and a sticky liquid like honey, measure the oil first so the honey slides out of the same cup.
