Butter, made from milk fats, is different than oil, because it has saturated fats that make it solid. Lard, which is animal fat, is also high in saturated fats. Oils typically are plant-based: vegetable, olive, soy, canola and so on. In general, you can interchange these fats when cooking, but you have to watch the temperature since some burn at lower heats than others. Also, when baking, you can use applesauce instead. Both cookies and cakes will be more moist.
Equal, 3 Tbsn of oil = 3 Tbsn of butter. Enjoy!
One quarter cup (one fourth cup) of butter is equal to one quarter cup of oil.
4 oz1 cup = 8 ounces 1 ounce = 0.12 cup
How much oil will substitute for 8 cups of butter
If you can make the switch, 1/2 cup for 8 ounces. Some things have to be butter to make the finished product.
3 tablespoons of butter is the same.
Melt the butter & measure the amount it needs. If it needs 2/3 cup oil, use that much melted butter.
48 ounces no oil filter or 52 ounces with an oil filter. Do not overfill!
To substitute butter with oil, you can use about 90% of the butter's volume in oil. For 7 tablespoons of butter, this means you would use approximately 6.3 tablespoons of oil. This conversion works well for most recipes where butter is melted or used for cooking.
Usually you have to melt the butter then measure. If you cook with butter or oil, you will get different results. Butter burns at a lower tenperature than oil. So cooks will put some oil in the butter if frying.
That would be 8 oz of oil
If you are substituting oil for butter in baking use about the same volume.
