Butter Converter

1 stick = 8 tbsp = 1/2 cup = 113.4 g = 4 oz

Convert a butter amount between US sticks, tablespoons, cups, grams, and ounces in one place. Recipes measure butter in wildly different ways depending on where they were written, and a stick of butter (an American standard of 8 tablespoons, half a cup, about 113 grams) does not appear on European packs at all. Type an amount in any field and every other unit updates live using the standard density of butter, roughly 227 grams per cup. This makes it easy to follow a US recipe with a kitchen scale, or to turn a metric weight back into sticks and tablespoons. It assumes salted or unsalted butter of the usual density, which is close enough for baking. Everything is calculated locally in your browser, so it is instant and completely private.

How to use Butter Converter
