Why Weigh Olive Oil in Grams?
When a recipe calls for ⅛ cups of olive oil, using a kitchen scale to measure exactly 27 grams will give you far more consistent results than volume measurement alone. This is because olive oil can be packed, sifted, or scooped differently each time, leading to weight variations of up to 20%.
How to Measure Olive Oil by Weight
Place your mixing bowl on a digital kitchen scale and press "tare" to zero it out. Then add olive oil until the scale reads 27g. This method is faster than measuring cups and eliminates the guesswork entirely.
Also Known As
Olive Oil is sometimes referred to as extra virgin olive oil, EVOO. The same conversion of 216g per cup applies regardless of the name used.
