shortening in one pound. I believe it's 2 cups but someone keeps telling me that solids and liquids are different.

I always thought that 1 cup = 8 ounces.

Measuring by volume and weight are two different things.

Which reminds me of the joke: which weighs more - a ton of feathers or a ton of bricks.

A lot of peeps quickly answer bricks (because everyone knows bricks weigh more than feathers)...

But the answer is they both weigh the same - because a ton is a ton - although the volume is vastly different. icon_smile.gif

FYI, on my scale a cup of Crisco weighs 7 oz.

My Sweetex weighs the same.

Since I always make double batches of buttercream, I package it up in 14 oz. parcels.
