16 ounces = 1 pound, one cup is 8 ounces, so 1/2 pound.
But that's not the whole story!
That's why a pint has 16 fluid ounces. A fluid ounce is, like a cup, a unit of volume, but one fluid ounce of WATER weighs an ounce, a pint of WATER weighs 16 ounces = 1 pound.
This works ONLY for water!
A cup of water is 8 ounces, but a cup of anything else will weigh a different amount.
For example a cup of Crisco weighs 7 ounces, a cup of flour weighs about 6 ounces.
According to crisco.com, 1 pound of Crisco is 2 1/3 cups. I prefer to measure in grams (most good kitchen scales will do both grams and ounces--grams will be more accurate because it is a smaller unit of measure). One pound is about 453.6 grams. Doing the math, one cup of Crisco weighs 194 grams (about 6.84 ounces).
1 stick of Crisco equals 1 cup.
1 cup is officially half a pound of water.
All you need to do for any solid is place it in enough water to displace the amount needed. For example, place the solid crisco in one cup of water in a two cup measuring cup, add the solid crisco until it hits the two cup line and you have a cup of solid crisco.
A tbsp is 15 gm of water. it is about 14.8 gm of crisco.
Depends on the size of the cup
it doesnt matter whether its water or icing or crisco its all measured the same. figure out the ratio to 16 oz to a cup
0.35 pounds will be present in a cup.
There are 1361 calories in one cup of Crisco. If you are baking and you want to cut the calories, use applesauce. There are only has 100 calories in one cup. So even if you only substitute half you will save yourself 680.5 calories. I just made banana nut bread and substituted the whole cup and it turned out good.
That is 0.309 of a cup.
Pounds are weight and cups are volume (size). They are not convertible to each other unless you know the density of the substance being measured.However, assuming that Crisco is a brand of shortening in this case, then the manufacturer says 1 teaspoon weighs 12 grams.1 cup [US] = 48 Teaspoon [US]so one cup [US] = 48*12 = 576 grams1 gram = 0.00220462 pounds576 grams = 576 * 0.00220462 = 1.26986112 poundsSo a pound of Crisco will measure less than a cup.
There are 48 teaspoons in a cup
That is 0.441 cup
