1 cup is one cup
1 cup of shortening weighs 7 oz. So if 16 oz. = l pound, its about 2 1/4 cups. The best way to convert is to multiply how many cups you need by 16 oz., then divide by 7. That will get you back to cups.
1 cup (note: while I don't know the exact value, this isn't even close. A pound of water is about 2 cups, and shortening floats on water. 2 cups would be a much better estimate. )
