How to convert grams of butter to US tablespoons – follow this

Do you want to know how to convert butter to grams? Salty Fox has the answer! When you have a stick of butter, the wrapper around the butter only shows teaspoons, tablespoons, and cups.

Since grams are a unit of weight and US tablespoons are a unit of volume, there is no universal conversion chart. Different ingredients have different weights. For example, butter is heavier than flour, so 14 grams of butter is equal to 1 tablespoon, while 14 grams of flour is slightly more than 1 3/4 tablespoons. Therefore, you need specific conversions for each ingredient. Having a butter measurement guide on hand will help get your recipes back on track in no time.

Other butter conversions

You may have noticed that many American recipes list butter measurements differently in the ingredient list. It can be in tablespoons, but also in cups, sticks, ounces, and pounds. Rather than counting multiple conversions, this chart illustrates this for you.

Tips for measuring butter

Since most butter sticks have dimensions printed on the outside of their wrappers, it should be easy to know how much you need. A stick of butter is labeled with teaspoons, tablespoons, and the tablespoon to cup equivalents are also shown. It also says 4 oz on the front of the wrapper. Net weight 113 grams

However, if you use softened butter, you won’t have these guidelines. To measure softened butter, scoop it into a measuring spoon or dry measuring cup and push down with a spatula to remove the air. Then level the top with the flat side of a spatula or knife.

Maybe you have a stick of butter, but only leftover, oddly shaped pieces. Don’t worry, there’s a simple method you can use to measure the amount you need. Take a two-cup liquid measuring cup and fill it to the one-cup mark with water. Then begin submerging the cubes of butter, poking them down if necessary, until the water level reaches the amount of butter required in the recipe. For example, if you need 1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) butter, add butter cubes until the water level reaches 1 1/4 cups. Drain the water, leaving only the amount of butter you need.

Convert metric measurements without charts

The only metric measurements that can be converted to U.S. customary measurements are in the categories of temperature, length, volume, and pressure.

If you remember that 1 tablespoon of butter is 14 grams, you can calculate the weight of almost any butter. Remember, 4 tablespoons equals 1/4 cup and 3 teaspoons equals 1 tablespoon.

If you often cook recipes that require frequent ingredient conversions, it might be helpful to remember (or write down) some key ingredient equivalents to avoid constantly looking up conversion tables. Keep in mind that these conversions apply specifically to butter and cannot be used generally.
