Measuring 150g 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, 150 Grams (150g) translates to 0.69 US cups (⅔ cup + 1 tsp). By contrast, using the melted liquid (above 76°f) measure (218g/cup — an identical per-cup density), 150g occupies ⅔ cup + 1 tsp (0.69 cups).
Without a kitchen scale, measure ⅔ cup + 1 tsp (11.01 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.
