Olive oil by weight: cups, grams and tablespoons
Like most oils, olive oil runs about 216g per cup and 13.5g per tablespoon — a touch lighter than water by weight even though it floats on it. Converting by weight is handy when a recipe gives oil in grams but you only have measuring cups.
Choosing a grade: save extra-virgin for dressings and finishing where its flavor shows, and use regular or light olive oil for high-heat cooking and for cakes where you want the oil to stay in the background.
