Would I figure it like butter - 2 cups?

Or like a dry measurement - approx. 4 cups?

I believe 1 pound is 2 1/3 cups!

If you look at the measurement markers that come on the one pound packages, and add it up, it ends up with that (pretty sure my memory serves me correct!)

Hi there. Not sure if you measure it like butter or not but I went to my scale and got this
if 1 lb = 16 oz right.
then I put 1 cup of crisco on the scale ( digital and put plate first and the turned it on so scale was on zero.
then I got 1 cup = 5.6 oz
so x that by 3 = 16.8 oz
so now you have .8 oz too many
1 TBS= .3 oz
1 tsp = .1 oz
so then that means 3 cups then take away 2Tbs and 2 tsp from that meaurement
Does that make sense? I think I did that right anyone else come up with that?

One cup of Crisco is 6.8oz, so a pound is basically a little over 2-1/3 cups or 2.35 cups.
