}Explanation
Convert 1 US cup of margarine to ounces by weight with an ingredient-specific cup reference.
The result is mass, not fluid ounces. That is especially useful for baking, pie crusts, traditional pastry, and savory doughs where the ingredient may be solid in the jar but measured as a liquid volume. The reverse conversion uses the same ounce-per-cup reference.
