Frequently Asked Questions

How many grams is 5 tablespoons of butter?

5 tablespoons of butter ≈ 70 grams, based on butter density of 0.96 g/ml.

How do I accurately measure butter with tablespoons?

1 stick (US) = 1/2 cup = 113 g. Use room-temperature butter for creaming, cold for pie crust.

Will the conversion be the same for all brands of butter?

Results may vary slightly between brands and how loosely or firmly you scoop. The values here use a reference density of 0.96 g/ml from authoritative sources like king-arthur and usda-fdc.

Why does 1 tablespoon of butter not weigh the same as other ingredients?

Same volume but different density results in different weight. Butter has a density of 0.96 g/ml, so 1 tbsp of butter ≠ 1 tbsp of another ingredient by weight.
