things people ask

• How much oil does a boxed cake mix actually need?
  Most US boxed mixes call for 1/2 cup, which is 99 g of vegetable oil. Some lighter mixes drop to 1/3 cup (~66 g) and pound-cake style mixes push up to 3/4 cup (~149 g). The volumes are forgiving — overshooting by 5-10 g won't break the crumb the way an extra 5-10 g of leavener would.
• How many cups of oil fill a Dutch oven for deep-frying?
  A 5-6 quart Dutch oven needs roughly 3-4 cups (about 600-800 g) to hit the 2-3 inch depth most fried-chicken and doughnut recipes specify. A standard 48 oz / 1.4 L bottle of vegetable oil holds about 6 cups, so one bottle covers a frying session with leftovers for straining and reuse.
• Can I swap olive oil cup-for-cup for vegetable oil in cake?
  By volume, yes — both pour at roughly 198 g per cup, so 1 cup of olive oil weighs about the same as 1 cup of vegetable oil. The flavor and smoke point differ. Vegetable oil is neutral; extra-virgin olive oil brings a peppery, grassy note that suits olive oil cakes but can read off in a vanilla layer cake.
