How to Calculate Butter Conversions

Butter conversion is essential for bakers and cooks. It involves changing one unit of butter measurement to another while maintaining the same amount. This process is crucial for recipe adjustments and precise cooking.

Butter Conversion Formulas

Here are the key formulas for converting between common butter units:

• 1 Stick of Butter = 1/2 Cup = 8 Tablespoons = 113.4 Grams
• 1 Cup of Butter = 2 Sticks = 16 Tablespoons = 226.8 Grams
• 1 Tablespoon of Butter = 3 Teaspoons = 14.175 Grams
• 1 Pound of Butter = 4 Sticks = 2 Cups = 453.592 Grams

Calculation Steps

1. Identify the initial butter unit and the desired unit for conversion
2. Convert the initial value to grams (our common unit for calculations)
3. Convert the grams to the desired output unit
4. Round the result to the appropriate number of decimal places

Example Calculation

Let's convert 2 Sticks of Butter to Cups:

1. Convert 2 Sticks of Butter to grams: \[2 \text{ Sticks} \times 113.4 \text{ g/stick} = 226.8 \text{ grams}\]
2. Convert grams to Cups: \[226.8 \text{ grams} \div 226.8 \text{ g/cup} = 1 \text{ Cup}\]

Therefore, 2 Sticks of Butter is equal to 1 Cup of Butter.
