How it works
American butter comes in sticks, and one stick is a tidy set of equivalents: 8 tablespoons, half a cup, 4 ounces, or 113 grams. Every other amount just scales from there.
Pick the unit you're starting from and type the amount. The converter turns it into grams first — the one measurement that doesn't lie about density — then reads that back out as sticks, tablespoons, cups, and ounces.
This is handy in both directions. A US recipe calling for a stick and a half becomes 170 grams for a European kitchen scale, and 250 grams of butter from a European block becomes just over a cup for a US recipe.
Frequently asked questions
How many grams is one stick of butter?
One US stick weighs 113 grams. That's also 8 tablespoons, half a cup, or 4 ounces — the wrapper on most brands prints those tablespoon marks right on the side.
Why convert butter by weight instead of volume?
Weight is exact. Packing butter into a measuring cup is fiddly and leaves air gaps, so a kitchen scale set to grams gives you the most reliable result, especially for baking.
Does this work for European butter blocks?
Yes. Just switch the starting unit to grams and type the block's weight. A common 250 g European block comes out to about 2.2 sticks or just over a cup.
