Why does ghee (clarified butter) weigh what it weighs?
Fats and oils have remarkably consistent density compared to dry ingredients — most edible oils cluster around 0.92 g/ml, so a cup of olive oil and a cup of vegetable oil weigh nearly the same. Solid fats like butter and shortening vary more, since their packed density depends on temperature and how firmly they are pressed into the measuring cup.
For ghee (clarified butter) specifically, 1 cup weighs 224g. That is the figure to plug into recipes calling for cup measurements when you want gram precision. ChefVault stores this density (and 118 others) so you never have to look it up twice.
Recipes that originated outside the United States almost always specify weight in grams. Translating these to US cup measurements introduces error in every step. The ChefVault app handles the math automatically — paste a recipe, hit convert, get a clean weight-based version.
