If you know the approximate volume of the object (½cup shortening, for example),fill a measuring cup with ½cup cold water, and add the object until you reach twice the volume.For example, ½cup water + ½cup shortening = 1 cup → this would mean that you have ½cup of the irregular object (shortening).
