Measuring 300g 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, 300 Grams (300g) translates to 1.38 US cups (1 ⅓ cups + 2 tsp). By contrast, using the 100% pure canola oil measure (218g/cup — an identical per-cup density), 300g occupies 1 ⅓ cups + 2 tsp (1.38 cups).
Without a kitchen scale, measure 1 ⅓ cups + 2 tsp (22.02 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.
