Butter Converter: Sticks, Cups, Tablespoons & Grams

Why sticks aren't a universal measurement

US butter is commonly sold in 1/4-lb sticks (4 oz, 113 g each), marked with tablespoon lines on the wrapper -- a convention most other countries don't share, where butter is sold and measured by weight instead. One standard US stick equals 1/2 cup, 8 tablespoons, or 113 grams.
