A stick of butter equals how much

Question

Diana B. · Answer

I'm with Cynthia on this. I buy Plugra or Kerrygold, so even though I never buy butter in sticks, I'm forever having to remember how many ounces are in one so I can calculate the equivalent.

PazzoNico · Answer

A French chef's "pat" (of butter).

Regine · Answer

You may also be looking for the equivalent in grams. In the US, one stick is easily understood as 1/2 cup which also means 4 oz or 8 tbsp or 113.5 grams.  2 sticks is one cup or 8 oz or 16 tbsp or 227 grams.

boulangere · Answer

I so dislike recipes which give butter equivalents in sticks.  Or cups or fractions thereof. Ick.  A pound of butter weighs, or equals, 16 ounces.  A pound of butter divided into 4 sticks, or quarters, equals 4 sticks, or quarters of 4 ounces each.  4 ounces times 4 equals 16 ounces, or 1 pound.  That given, one "stick" of butter is equal to 4 ounces.
