Shortening Frying (Heavy Duty), Palm (Hydrogenated)

What is Shortening Frying (Heavy Duty), Palm (Hydrogenated)?

Shortening Frying (Heavy Duty), Palm (Hydrogenated) is a pourable ingredient measured by volume in many recipes, but its weight depends on density and solids. Unlike water, liquids with fat, sugar, or dissolved compounds can read heavier or lighter for the same cup. This hub converts those differences into practical gram values for consistent results.

Liquids are not interchangeable with water in weight terms. Density changes with fat, sugar, and dissolved solids, so the same cup can convert above or below water-based assumptions. Use these density-based gram values when scaling sauces, drinks, and dressings.

Chef note:Chefs scale sauces by weight because density shifts quietly change flavor balance.

Liquids & oils

• Read liquids at eye level; oils are lighter than water (≈0.91–0.93 g/mL).
• For dressings, weigh oils for easier scaling.
