Who is this useful for?
If you're an international cook following US-based recipes, you'll often encounter cup measurements for melted butter.

Converting melted butter to grams ensures consistent and reliable results, whether you're baking or cooking.
Why accuracy matters for melted butter
Precision is especially important when using melted butter in baking and cooking. Even small variations in weight can impact the texture, consistency, and flavour of your dish. For example, too much melted butter in a recipe can make baked goods dense, while too little may cause them to be too dry or crumbly.
Common mistakes to avoid when cooking with melted butter
- Adding melted butter to eggs or milk that are too cold, causing it to solidify.
- Not cooling melted butter before adding to batter, affecting texture.
- Using melted butter instead of softened butter in creaming methods, leading to dense cakes.
