Shortening (Solid): Metric Cups (250ml) & tbsp to Grams (g) & Ounces (oz) Conversion

Convert volumes of solid vegetable shortening measured in metric cups (250ml) and tablespoons to its approximate weight in metric grams (g) and imperial/US ounces (oz).

Metric Volume (Solid Shortening)	Grams (g) (approx.)	Ounces (oz) (approx. by weight)
1 Metric tablespoon (15ml)	12-14 g	0.42-0.49 oz
1 Australian Metric tablespoon (20ml)	16-18 g	0.56-0.63 oz
1/4 Metric Cup (62.5 ml)	50-55 g	1.76-1.94 oz
1/2 Metric Cup (125 ml)	100-110 g	3.53-3.88 oz
1 Metric Cup (250 ml)	200-220 g (often ~205g)	7.05-7.76 oz

Important Considerations for Solid Shortening:

Solid vegetable shortening must be firmly packed for these weights. 1 Metric Cup (250ml) of solid shortening weighs approximately 200-210 grams.
Shortening is less dense than butter.
For precise baking, measuring by weight is recommended.
