SwitchExplanation
This page handles the reverse question for shortening: starting from weight and estimating US cups. It uses the same cup conversion basis as the mirror page, only in reverse.
That keeps gram-based recipes and cup-based prep aligned to one explicit assumption. That is especially useful for dressings, pan work, baking, and sauces where a poured volume needs to match a target weight more closely. Shortening behaves like a pourable fat, so temperature, viscosity, and exact formulation can shift real kitchen weight slightly even when the page keeps one fixed basis.
