About Vegetable Oil

Oil weighs slightly less than an equal volume of water (it floats) — 218 g per cup. The butter-to-oil swap runs on weight: replace 227 g of butter with ~170 g of oil, because butter is 15–18% water. Coconut oil weighs the same but state matters — melted for batters, solid for creaming-style recipes.
