How many cups are in a half a pound of Crisco?

Answer by  PoohBear (31)

Find the volume of a container of Crisco in cubic inches. One container of Crisco (Volume = V and Weight = W) has a density of W divided by V. One cup = 14.4375 cubic inches. Multiply 14.4375 by the density of Crisco to get the weight of one cup. Divide .5 pounds by the weight per cup. 1.167 Cups.

One pound of Crisco is equal to 2 1/3 cups, so half a pound would be half of that, which is 1 1/6 cups.
