I saw a 35 lb cooking oil can at Costco. I am sure it is economical to buy in bulk, but oil is normally sold in gallons in retail market. For the sake of comparison, how can I convert 35 lb into gallons? Gallon is for volume while pound is for mass!
One more non-technical question – If one actually buys this huge can of oil, how do you pour the oil into smaller containers at home? I remember one plastic bellows type hand-pump at my mom’s (20-25 years ago!) but couldnt find any such product in local stores.
Density of peanut oil is approx 56.81 lb/cubic ft. Divide 35 lb by the density ->> about 4.63 gallons of oil.
Thank you for your answers.
There are approx 8#/gallon. That would make it 4.3 gallons
I think that would be about 5 gallons of oil.
