How it is calculated
Grams = volume in mL × 0.9595 g/mL. The density comes from USDA FoodData Central (SR Legacy, "Butter, salted"): one US cup (236.59 mL) of butter weighs 227 g. 1 oz = 28.3495 g.
Example
Inputs: Amount = 1, Measure = US cup (236.6 mL), Density = 0.9595 g/mL. Result: Weight in grams: 227 g; Weight in ounces: 8.01 oz; Volume in millilitres: 236.6 mL.
Limits and caveats
- Measured as soft butter packed into the cup; cold chunks leave gaps.
- The density can be edited for other butters.
