One cup, side by side
Is 0.92 g/ml a real density, or a baking convention?
A real one. Vegetable oil is about 0.92 g per millilitre, and there are 236.588 ml in a US cup, which gives 218 g. It is worth saying because King Arthur's chart lists vegetable oil at 227 g per cup — the flat eight-fluid-ounce figure it hands every liquid, which is a baking shorthand rather than a measurement. dishscale uses the density, so this conversion holds at any volume instead of only at one cup.
