Explanation

This page converts weight ounces of shortening into fluid ounces using the same ingredient density as the mirror page, only in reverse.

That is useful when an ingredient is weighed first but your workflow still measures pours or small liquid-style volumes in fluid ounces. 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.
