How ⅓ cup of vegetable oil works out
One US cup of vegetable oil weighs 218 grams, so multiply by 0.333 to get a third of a cup: 218 × 0.333 = 72.7 g. In the other direction, 72.7 g of vegetable oil divided by 218 brings you back to ⅓ cup.
If you have no scales, ⅓ cup is 5.333 level tablespoons of vegetable oil (16 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 76.8 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.
