About the Butter Converter
A US stick of butter is 4 oz (113 g), ½ cup or 8 tablespoons, and the wrapper is marked in tablespoons. Two sticks make a cup (227 g). Butter is about 80% fat, so when replacing it with oil in baking, use about ¾ of the volume.
The formula
1 stick = 113.4 g = ½ cup = 8 tbsp; 1 tbsp = 14.2 g
