Convert butter sticks to grams for accurate baking measurements
Formula: Grams = Sticks × 113
1 stick × 113 = 113g
| Sticks | Grams (g) | Ounces (oz) |
|---|---|---|
| 0.25 sticks | 28g | 1.00 oz |
| 0.5 sticks | 57g | 2.00 oz |
| 0.75 sticks | 85g | 3.00 oz |
| 1 stick | 113g | 4.00 oz |
| 1.25 sticks | 141g | 5.00 oz |
| 1.5 sticks | 170g | 6.00 oz |
| 1.75 sticks | 198g | 7.00 oz |
| 2 sticks | 226g | 8.00 oz |
| 2.5 sticks | 283g | 10.00 oz |
| 3 sticks | 339g | 12.00 oz |
| 4 sticks | 452g | 16.00 oz |
| 5 sticks | 565g | 20.00 oz |
A stick of butter is a standard US measurement equal to 1/2 cup, 8 tablespoons, or 4 ounces. In metric measurements, one stick weighs exactly 113 grams. This standardized packaging makes measuring butter convenient for American recipes. Most butter sold in the US comes in boxes of four sticks (one pound total), with each stick individually wrapped and marked with tablespoon measurements for easy portioning.
Converting butter sticks to grams is straightforward:
Note that butter sticks are primarily a US measurement. In Europe, butter is typically sold in 250g blocks. In Australia and New Zealand, butter comes in 500g blocks. When following international recipes, always convert to grams for accuracy. One US stick (113g) is slightly less than half a European butter block (250g).
One US stick of butter weighs exactly 113 grams or 4 ounces. This is also equal to 1/2 cup or 8 tablespoons. The stick measurement is standardized across all US butter brands.
Yes, margarine sticks sold in the US follow the same weight standard as butter (113g per stick). However, margarine has different water and fat content, which may affect baking results. For best results in baking, use real butter when the recipe calls for it.
Most butter sticks have tablespoon markings on the wrapper. Since one stick equals 8 tablespoons, each tablespoon is about 14 grams. For precise measurements, use a kitchen scale, or count the tablespoon marks on the wrapper (1/2 stick = 4 tablespoons = 57g).
No, butter maintains the same weight whether solid, softened, or melted. One stick is always 113 grams regardless of its state. However, melted butter measures differently by volume (it becomes more compact), so always weigh butter if precision is important.
Yes, European butter is typically sold in 250g blocks, not sticks. One US stick (113g) equals approximately 0.45 of a European butter block. When using European recipes, always convert to grams to avoid confusion, as many European recipes already specify butter in grams.
It depends on the recipe. Creamed cookies and cakes require softened butter (65-68°F) for proper aeration. Pie crusts and biscuits need cold butter for flakiness. Melted butter is used for brownies and some quick breads. Always follow the recipe's temperature specifications for best results.
