How Many Tablespoons In A Stick?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nIn this section we will go through each common stick size of butter and show you how many tablespoons, as well as teaspoons are in each stick size, this will make conversions much easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is worth noting that a teaspoon is a third of the size of a tablespoon, so for every three teaspoons of butter there is one tablespoon. Teaspoon is sometimes shortened to tsp when referring to measurements in recipes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, for 4 sticks of butter, there are 32 tablespoons of butter and 96 teaspoons. Then for 2 and a half sticks of butter there are 20 tablespoons of butter and 60 teaspoons.\u00a0Then when there are 2 sticks of butter this is 16 tablespoons and 48 teaspoons of butter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When you have 1 and a half sticks of butter this is 12 tablespoons of butter and 36 teaspoons.\u00a0Then when you have 1 and a quarter sticks of butter this is 10 tablespoons and 30 teaspoons. If you have just 1 stick of butter this is 8 tablespoons and 24 teaspoons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When you have 2 thirds of a stick of butter this is 5 and a third tablespoon of butter and 16 teaspoons.\u00a0Then if you have a half stick of butter this is 4 tablespoons of butter and 12 teaspoons. If you have a quarter stick of butter this is 2 tablespoons of butter and 6 teaspoons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Finally, an eighth of a stick of butter is 1 tablespoon and this is 3 teaspoons. So, as you can see one stick of butter has 8 tablespoons of butter and a half stick has 4 tablespoons of butter.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nIf you are looking to see how many sticks of butter is 10 tablespoons, then that is a stick and a quarter of butter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you are struggling to find a more specific tablespoon of butter measurement like 6 tablespoons which does not have an easy conversion, we recommend getting 12 tablespoons which is a stick and a half of butter, then halving this amount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you just want a simple conversion for finding out how many tablespoons of butter you can get from a stick, just multiply the number of sticks by 8, and if you want teaspoons instead, then just multiply this by 24 instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like if you have a 3 and a half stick of butter, all you need to do is multiply 3.5 by 8 and then you will have your answer being 28 tablespoons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How Many Butter Sticks In A Cup?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nIn most parts of the US, you will find that most sticks of butter are in a quarter pound weighed square.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then, 8 tablespoons or half a cup will make up one of these sticks, so for every stick of butter, you have half a cup, so you only need 2 sticks of butter to get a whole cup, which is not too hard to remember.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This also makes conversions pretty easy, so for every cup of butter you need for a recipe, you will need 2 sticks of butter. So, if your recipe asks for 1 and a half cups of butter, you will need 3 sticks of butter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can also find that a lot of foreign brands of butter will only be sold in a half pound size instead of quarter pound sticks like in the US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, these actually make conversions a little more simple since one of these half pound packages of butter will end up being close to a whole cup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How To Measure A Cup Of Butter?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nLuckily it is not too tricky to measure a cup of butter when you have butter that is fresh from the store. This will usually come with wax paper that has markings for how much a tablespoon is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As we covered in the previous section, one quarter pound stick of butter is equal to half a cup, so the easiest way to measure a cup of butter is to simply have two of them and that is one cup of butter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you have 1 cup of butter, this is half a cup, then if you have half a stick this is a quarter of a cup of butter. 1 and a half cups of butter is 3 quarters of a cup, and 2 sticks is 1 cup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2 and a half sticks is 1 and a quarter cups of butter, and 3 sticks is 1 and a half cups. Then 3 and a half sticks is 1 and 3 quarter cups, and then 4 sticks is 2 cups of butter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How You Can Measure Butter Sticks By Their Weight?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nA lot of recipes, especially those that are not from people based in the US will measure butter by weight instead of by volume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We have been covering how a stick of butter is a quarter pound, but there are other weight measurements that you can find being used in recipes as well. This could be ounces, pounds, or grams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The easiest way to measure by weight is to invest a little in some kitchen scales.\u00a0These are incredibly useful if you cook or bake a lot, and will save you a lot of time and guesswork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, if you do not have access to a kitchen scale, then you can use the stick system to estimate a close weight to what you are looking for with butter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As mentioned, a stick of butter is a quarter pound, 4 ounces, and about 113 grams, so using this we can see how much butter weighs using sticks as a reference point. So, if you have 4 sticks of butter, this is going to weigh 16 ounces, or 454 grams of butter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Half a stick of butter is an eighth of a pound, 57 grams and 2 ounces. A stick of butter is a quarter pound, 113 grams, and 4 ounces. A stick and a half of butter is \u215c of a pound, 170 grams, and 6 ounces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then 2 sticks of butter is half a pound, 227 grams, and 8 ounces.\u00a0Then 2 and a half sticks of butter is \u215d of a pound, 284 grams and 10 ounces. 3 sticks of butter is \u00be of a pound and 341 grams, this is 12 ounces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then 3 and a half sticks of butter is \u215e of a pound which is 398 grams and 14 ounces. Finally, 4 sticks of butter is a pound, which is 454 grams and 16 ounces!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Summary<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nHopefully this guide has given you all the information you need when it comes to measuring butter using the stick system!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
