How many cups in 6 lb can crisco?

Answer 1

Someone said that Crisco claims that 1 lb.=2 1/3 Cups. Therefore, the answer would be approximately 7 Cups in 3 lbs.

Answer 2

Actually, using dry measure, there are 2 cups in a pound of shortening. Therefore, a 3 pound can has 6 cups of shortening. Perhaps 48 cups is correct if the shortening is melted and liquid measure is used. I am uncertain about this, but I know the dry measure is correct. Most people would be using the dry measure for baking recipes. 48 No it's not. Weight and Volume are not always equal. To get the correct answer you need to weigh 1 cup of shortening. Divide the weight of the can by the weight of the measured shortening and you'll get the correct answer.

Answer 3

It would be about 6 cups. Cups is a measure of volume. Pounds is a measure of weight and mass. You can not directly convert the two.

Answer 4

One cup is 8 oz. So a 6 lb can is 12 cups.

Answer 5

That is 12 cups.
