How to use it

- Copy the result, or copy a link that keeps the same values to share it.
How it is calculated
cups = grams ÷ 226. tbsp = cups × 16, tsp = cups × 48, metric cups = cups × 236.59 ÷ 250. The kitchen measure is rounded to the nearest 1/4 tsp.
Example
Inputs: Weight = 250 g. Result: US cups: 1.11 cups; Tablespoons: 17.7 tbsp; Teaspoons: 53.1 tsp.
Limits and caveats
- The chart gives 113 g per half cup, so a cup here is 226 g; exactly 8 oz would be 226.8 g.
- The kitchen measure is rounded to the nearest 1/4 tsp, and chart figures to the gram.
- Metric cup (250 mL) and spoon values are scaled by volume from the 236.59 mL US cup figure.
Questions about this tool

250 g is about 1.11 US cups, or 1 cup + 1 tbsp + 2 tsp, at 226 g per cup.
Does melting change the amount of butter?
Weight does not change when butter melts, so for 113 g melted butter, melt 113 g. Measuring by cup after melting can differ slightly.
Is the result in US or metric cups?
The main result is in 236.59 mL US cups, which the chart uses, and metric 250 mL cups are shown too: 250 g of butter is 1.05 metric cups.
