Who is this useful for?

If you're an international cook following US-based recipes, you'll often encounter cup measurements for butter. However, many countries — including those in Europe and Asia — primarily use grams for precision. Converting butter to grams ensures consistent and reliable results, whether you're baking or cooking.

Why accuracy matters for butter

Precision is especially important when using butter in baking and cooking. Even small variations in weight can impact the texture, consistency, and flavour of your dish. For example, too much butter in a recipe can make baked goods dense, while too little may cause them to be too dry or crumbly.
