What is the Butter Converter?
American recipes measure butter in sticks and cups; the rest of the world weighs it in grams. This butter converter bridges the gap in both directions — turning sticks into grams, cups into tablespoons, or grams into the stick markings on the wrapper. One US stick equals half a cup, 8 tablespoons, 4 ounces or about 113 grams, and this tool handles every combination so you never have to guess.
