use a large measuring cup
about 1/2 fill with water (to a certain line)
put in the shortening and see how much the line does up (you will be able to figure out how much you have put in )

Measuring Shortening

Take a graduated cylinder and add water. Measure.
Add shortening to cylinder. Measure again. Subtract the original number from the second. This is the volume of the shortening.
Example:
You add water to cylinder and it measures 10 mL. Add shortening. It now measures 15 mL. The volume of the shortening is 5 cm3 (maybe mL...? mL is for liquids, cm3 is for solids. Is shortening a solid...?)

If you need a cup of something use a 2 cup measuring cup. Add 1 cup water. Add whatever (butter, shortening, peanut butter...) until the water reaches the two cup mark.
The food will displace the same amount of water as it's mass.
