No, 100g of oil is not necessarily the same as 100ml. Oil's density affects its volume-to-weight ratio. For example, olive oil has a density of about 0.92g/ml, so 100g equals approximately 109ml. Always check the specific oil's density for accurate measurements.

FAQs & Answers

  1. Why is 100g of oil not the same as 100ml? It's due to the density of the oil; different oils have different densities, affecting their volume-to-weight conversion.
  2. How can I convert grams of oil to milliliters? To convert grams to milliliters, divide the weight by the oil's density (g/ml).
  3. What is the density of olive oil? Olive oil has a density of about 0.92g/ml.
  4. Are all cooking oils the same density? No, different cooking oils have different densities due to variations in their composition.
