Measuring 175g 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, 175 Grams (175g) translates to 0.80 US cups (¾ cup + 2 ½ tsp). By contrast, using the 100% pure canola oil measure (218g/cup — an identical per-cup density), 175g occupies ¾ cup + 2 ½ tsp (0.80 cups).
Without a kitchen scale, measure ¾ cup + 2 ½ tsp (12.84 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.
