Does Melted Butter Weigh the Same?
Melting butter does not significantly change its weight. For example, 100 grams of solid butter remains approximately 100 grams after melting.
Volume measurements can be less consistent because solid butter may contain gaps or be packed differently. Weighing butter is therefore more reliable.
Salted vs Unsalted Butter
Salted and unsalted butter have very similar weights per cup. The salt and water content can create small differences between brands, but the same general conversion is suitable for most recipes.
Measuring Butter Accurately
- Use the markings on a US butter wrapper when measuring sticks or tablespoons.
- Use a kitchen scale when a recipe specifies grams or ounces.
- Measure melted butter in a liquid measuring cup after melting.
- Check whether the recipe requests softened, melted or cold butter.
